decent stay with minor issues

rooftop bar amazing view room kitchenette paper-thin wall slippery floor
the rooftop bar was a highlight (i spent quite a bit of time there). the views are amazing. i also really liked the kitchenette in my room. it had everything i needed for a short stay.
the room i had was quite loud. i could hear other guests coming and going at all hours (it was a bit disturbing). the bathroom floor was also very slippery, i almost fell a couple of times.

pleasant stay

convenient kitchenette crisp towel friendly staff luggage storage
i appreciated the convenient kitchenette it made simple meal prep easy. the provided towels were very clean and crisp a nice touch. the staff were always friendly and ready to assist and i could leave my luggage after checkout which was really helpful as i continued exploring.
the fire alarm system had a fluke on the last night it was quite intense and led to a rather rough morning. it was an isolated incident but definitely impacted the end of the stay.
