Our take
We stayed on a weekend with a baby in a family room with a small terrace, and it turned out to be a good-value choice for exactly that kind of trip. The room has wood floors, which are far easier than carpet with a crawling baby, and a tub a little bigger than usual. The Bali-style lobby has free espresso, an ice machine and a microwave we used to warm baby food. The owner let us check in at 1pm after seeing the baby.
Use the basement parking garage to get in: the front entrance has stairs and a lift that staff have to operate, which is awkward with a stroller. Construction next door spoiled the view from our room, so ask about the view when you book. The rooftop pool is small with no hot tub, so do not choose the hotel for that. Breakfast is Korean-leaning and cheap, and cheaper still if you pay the night before.
