great locationcity viewsfull length mirror
The location was excellent. it offered easy access to many attractions. the rooftop bar provided fine city views. the staff was responsive. They addressed my needs immediately. i appreciated the attentiveness shown throughout my stay.
The room lacked a full length mirror. I found this inconvenient when getting ready. it would be helpful to have one available in the room, though it had air conditioning.

prime locationclean roomrooftop barprivacy issueearly noise
the location was unbeatable. i could walk to most places i wanted to see (that saved me money on transportation!). my room was also very clean. the rooftop bar was a nice perk after a long day (i especially liked the city views).
that caused some delays getting to my room. the frosted glass door separating the toilet area offered little privacy.
