Make sure to check out the rooftop lounge for great cocktails, brunch, small plates and breathtaking views from the 30th floor.

We arrived and checked in at 11:30pm or so due to an 8 hour flight delay and as a result, the hotel was allegedly completely booked and we ended up getting a 5th floor room ((5F) with a very disappointing view.

Unfortunately, the air conditioning units on the courtyard side are very noisy, even on the 20th floor, regardless of whether the air conditioning is on or off.

Suite needs upgrade, especially upholstery and plumbing ( loud noises in pipes and lack of cold water in sinks and shower when the toilet is flushed).
