We checked in a 2 bedroom apartment sky level. Got into the room and 1 of the bedrooms was locked. Called over and over again to have it unlocked took about 2.5 hours. By this time it was 11.30pm. Balcony on sky level un un-safe. No chairs or table. Just like standing on a cliff. Glass was shaky. Location was good thats about it.

Foyer and all extrnal areas are very nice. Once you enter your room the level drops. Rooms designed on very low budget, making them ok if this was a somewhat, modern 3 star hotel. Shower was putrid, and stank.
