The large TV in the room was a major plus. It was mounted on the wall, directly facing the king bed, as it should be. I could easily watch tennis after a long day. The room itself had a view of a large tree right outside the window (I stayed on the 2nd floor).

The modern appearance met my expectations. The rooftop bar was a nice touch.

The lack of power points near the desk was a poor design choice. I couldn't plug in my laptop. the coffee pods in the room weren't marked, so i had no idea what each color represented. the bed was like it sagged. I could feel years of use.
