Overall Good
We enjoyed our stay. Great rooftop bar and views are amazing from the top. Walking distance to some restaurants and bars. There is valet parking that you pay for daily and we spent another $200 at the hotel for drinks, breakfast, etc. In room instant coffee is terrible, but hotel provides two cans of water. And toilet paper is one-ply. I can't do that; I'm two-ply all the way. Advice: be prepared to pay for extras and bring your own toilet paper. My husband now wants to make sure we bring our own because of this incident.
