mixed feelings about this hotel

friendly staffrooftop pool accessrigid reservation

i found the staff to be very friendly ..

The rooftop pool access was frustrating. also, i did not appreciate the rigid reservation system for the pools. It prevented spontaneous visits and limited the stay to just 45 minutes per visit.
