I had a pleasant stay at So What Boutique Hotel, especially due to the incredibly friendly staff who made me feel welcome. However, a couple of issues like noise from the lobby and a less-than-clean bathroom left room for improvement. Overall, it’s a decent choice for those needing a quick place to rest before catching a flight.
