the hotel rooms offer great views. the hotel services include restaurant bar and cafe options. i also appreciated the steam and sauna areas. the staff were always very helpful.

the tv being in a mirror affects viewing. with any light reflections appear making it borderline unwatchable. the display panels for controlling everything light up brightly at night. there are many of them and all the walls are mirrors. i had to block out the excessive light.

I must ask for bath robes over two days as they weren't in the room, I did not get them. Housekeeping was non existent, not great. The valet did not have my car ready and I waited 15 minutes.
