an lovely escape
really good cleanlinesspolite serviceeasy accessroom temperature
i found the resort clean. the staff offered consistently kind and polite service. i particularly enjoyed the cocktails (the bartenders were amazing!). i also appreciated the proximity to fifth avenue, with access to shops and restaurants.
i noticed some inconsistencies with the room's temperature control. the air conditioning wasn't always as effective as i expected, especially during the warmer parts of the day. this affected my comfort level at times, especially when trying to rest during the afternoon.
