Very nice stay!!!

king room spot on location digital passcode
I stayed in the Puzzle King Room and it was AMAZING!!! The location of the hotel is spot on. I found the digital passcode locks very convenient for accessing the room. The room's cleanliness and perfect layout impressed me.
I found the bed could have been comfier. The pillows felt more like bricks at times. This impacted my sleep quality somewhat . I hope they consider softer pillows in the future.
