I loved how central the location was! the rooftop bar was such a treat. The cocktails were expertly made and the view was amazing. the staff were really nice, finding me in a restaurant to return my kindle, such a kind gesture.
The noise from the strip was quite loud. I wish there was better soundproofing to ensure a restful night. i had to use the earplugs provided.

The rooftop bar closed to early. I found there was no food available in the hotel. My room felt small, it barely had room to move. The toilet lacked a proper lock, a real oversight. Loud noise continued late. I needed earplugs to sleep. Street music lasted until 4 or 5 AM, a serious disturbance.
