i found the hotel to have modern furnishings and pleasant lighting. the rooms were neat, clean, and offered good coastal views. the rooftop bar was a hit. the breakfast selection was expansive, attractively presented, and high quality. it was a fantastic start to my day.

during my stay, i noticed some noise from the skybar, even on the tenth floor. this disturbance slightly impacted the otherwise peaceful atmosphere. i felt better soundproofing would improve the experience during evening.
