the rooftop terrace provided amazing views during breakfast. i found the buffet had lots of choices, so i could always find something i liked. the gym was a nice addition, it let me keep up with my workouts. the staff helped me park, it was a big plus because parking can be difficult.

the shower temperature fluctuated a little, somewhat annoying.

the room was adequately cleaned each day, and the staff at reception were helpful with directions.

the air conditioning unit in my room was quite loud, disrupting my sleep (it sounded like a small engine). the breakfast, while having a wide selection, seemed to lack quality ingredients. the rooftop bar, advertised as a highlight, was often understaffed, resulting in long waits for service
