i stayed in a king suite and it was amazing! the room was spacious and very clean. i really liked the dyson hairdryer provided. the rooftop bar had such nice views!

The coat hangers were full of dust. That was a bummer. i requested an early check-in, but it did not happen. I had to wait. the front staff seemed too busy to care about my situation.

i really liked the styling of the king room. the bed was very comfortable and the rooftop bar offered an epic view. the staff uniforms looked beautiful and everyone was well-dressed. i especially liked the magnifying mirror in the bathroom (it's very useful!).

the dark interior design made it a bit difficult to find light switches, as the black switches blended into the dark walls.
