The bathroom was AMAZING!!! It felt very spacious. The rooftop access was a great perk. The views were expansive. I used the umbrellas. They were provided FREE of charge.
The air conditioning unit made quite A bit of noise. It was difficult to ignore it at night. The elevators were sometimes slow. There were only two for the entire hotel, so that resulted in some waiting.

The location provides convenient access to many neighborhoods. I found it simple to explore the area. The free umbrellas came in handy when unexpected rain was. It was a nice perk to have. I enjoyed the rooftop. It offered good views and a nice place to relax. The bathrooms stand out. They are excellent in their design.
The windows were very dirty, also i noticed quite a bit of dust on the bedside lamps
