NEW YORKER BY LOTTE HOTELS
"Fantastic location. Very small beds, like child size. Definitely upgrade. Vape detectors in room as well. That’s on me I guess, but got a $500 fine… sooo as much as I paid to stay there basically! Water vapor does NOT compare to actual smoke but I get it. Rules are rules."
