Area seemed nice. There was a dead bug in our bedding. The facility seemed clean overall. The property offered filtered water- but it didn’t taste good enough to drink.

Great hotel but needs a disclaimer

The stay was great, the hotel was also great, it had everything we needed and it was very clean and beautiful. However, you need to put a disclaimer when you describe the amenities, one of the main reasons we booked this hotel was because it has a "rooftop terrace", which is does, but it is accessed via the penthouse night club, so it is 21+ and the access depends on whether the club is booked or not. We wanted to see the beautiful cityscape in between the years, but the night club was booked by a wedding and even if it wasn't, our teenage kids were not allowed to pass through the night club to see the outside view anyway. You can imagine it was a bit frustrating since that was the aspect that made us choose this hotel. Hope this makes sense, thank you.

Overall we loved the location, the bed was comfortable but room was pretty small. It could use some updating, especially for the cost. Bathroom was very small, not a lot of counter space. Staff was very helpful and friendly.
