They need a better market in the hotel with food items. Also pool is beautiful and should have food and beverage service. Coffee maker knocks the cup out and spills the coffee. Propert itself is very hip and swanky. Style is great. Roof top is amazing with great views.

The rooms here are really nice and clean. I gave it 4 stars because the toilets are the size of children's toilets at a school. Not great for my 6 ft tall husband who just had knee surgery. Other than that this was a nice stay.

You can hear the sound of a woman making love too loud and the sound of a bed moving or shaking really loud above your room overnight or in the quiet hours after 10 or 11 pm.

Our room carpet had 100s of stains and was incredibly hard to look at and walk on. The walls on every side were very thin and you could hear everything from all neighbors. I’m sorry but not at all worth a 300+ dollar room. We just can’t accept the lack of cleanliness!
