Great hotel but needs a disclaimer

The stay was great, the hotel was also great, it had everything we needed and it was very clean and beautiful. However, you need to put a disclaimer when you describe the amenities, one of the main reasons we booked this hotel was because it has a "rooftop terrace", which is does, but it is accessed via the penthouse night club, so it is 21+ and the access depends on whether the club is booked or not. We wanted to see the beautiful cityscape in between the years, but the night club was booked by a wedding and even if it wasn't, our teenage kids were not allowed to pass through the night club to see the outside view anyway. You can imagine it was a bit frustrating since that was the aspect that made us choose this hotel. Hope this makes sense, thank you.
