the rooftop bar really stands out with its fine water views. sunset cocktails were a lovely experience. the room was quite spacious, and i found the bed very comfortable..
the cleanliness in the initial room left something to be desired. i saw several stains on the carpet and headboard. there was also a noticeable fishy smell in the room and corridor, and the ac did not seem to be functioning properly.
