My room was big and spacious and it was SO clean. The room service was prompt and the food was AMAZING!!! Breakfast was a great experience and there were so many choices.
The receptionist seemed uninterested when I checked out. I stayed there two nights and the shower water pressure was really low. This meant I couldn't shower properly .

Mixed feelings about this stay
lovely rooftopwater temperatureroom tv
The rooftop was lovely. It offered a nice space to relax.
The shower was a real problem. The water temperature fluctuated constantly. Many of the tv channels didn't connect (I only wanted to watch the news!).
