The room was big and fairly modern.
The shower head clearly had not been cleaned in a while. The water flow was feeble! Filling up the coffee machine supplies was sporadic. I found that annoying. The rooftop bar service was poor. Staff seemed miserable and inattentive.

My check-in was seamless. I received my room key promptly. The room was bright, modern, and spacious. I found the bathroom had great water pressure, made showers enjoyable. The rooftop pool was great. I really enjoyed it.
I thought the minibar was not cleared promptly. I had to request it be emptied, and I felt this should have been taken care of earlier. I also felt a small inconvenience.
