I had an enjoyable stay at the hotel, especially appreciating the immaculate cleanliness and stylish design throughout. The rooftop bar was a highlight with stunning views, making for a great evening spot. While the amenities were decent, I did find the Wi-Fi a bit slower than I expected, which was a minor inconvenience. Overall, it was a positive experience with a few areas that could use improvement.
