location good, but some significant drawbacks

excessive waiting timesuncomfortable warm
the biggest issue was the elevators. waiting times were excessive, especially during peak hours. it took almost 15 minutes to get one. the air conditioning was another problem. i found it difficult to adjust the temperature in the room. it was uncomfortably warm even with the window open and fan on. made sleeping quite difficult.

I loved the cleanliness of the room. I found everything in great order, including sufficient supplies. the view from the high floor was something else. The cityscape sprawled out before me. the hotel held my luggage both before check-in and after checkout. this was a lifesaver. I didn't have to lug my bags around!
The elevators were a bit slow at peak times. I had to wait a few minutes once.

i found this hotel lovely! the rooftop view still makes my heart flutter, a memory i treasure. the bed seemed like a soft cloud, the tv a portal to endless stories. the nearby convenience store was a sweet haven for late-night cravings, its shelves packed with delights.
