“I see a property trading on its history, but maybe not entirely living up to the hype. The location is superb, near Georgetown, and the rooftop bar promises killer views. However, reports of inconsistent housekeeping and less-than-stellar room amenities give me pause, suggesting a gap between aspiration and reality.”
