Fantastic Stay!

rooftop barquiet room
I really liked the rooftop bar. It has amazing city views from the pool area. I found my room very quiet, and the bed comfortable.
I think more umbrellas are needed by the rooftop pool. There wasn't any shade available.

inconsistent cleaningroom rate
I found the room cleaning inconsistent. One day, it was late, and another day, some towels weren't folded properly. also, i requested a slightly later check-out, something i believe is offered to members. unfortunately, they only granted me one extra hour because of supposed availability issues. this felt rather inflexible, especially given the price of the room.
