I appreciated the new condition of the facilities and its proximity to public transport. The infinity pool was a great amenity. The front desk staff were helpful and friendly. The room service was also excellent. I had a really enjoyable breakfast through it.

Acceptable Stay
clean room breakfast buffet attentive staff slow check-in expensive parking windy pool
The room was clean and well kept. The breakfast buffet had various options. Everything was cooked perfectly. Staff were attentive but not hovering.
The check-in process was a bit slow. I waited in line. Valet parking felt ridiculously expensive at $89. The pool area was windy, so it wasn't warm enough.
