"This was a great boutique-tech hotel. There was no in person staff to greet me but they did have a person on screen to help check me in, and scan my ID. It was much easier than I thought it was going to be and got a code for my room instead of a key. The room was comfy and the hotel is super cute. If you're missing a hotel bar you can head 3 doors down to the right to Route 92 Sports Bar and hang out with the locals for cocktails."
