The staff, clean room, and the view from the 24 floor was fantastic
saff were lovely, breakfast was good. Location was amazing! We had a show at the convention center and was less the 100 meters from the door...... we were in bed before everyone else reached there cars :) fabulous restaurant just downstairs.
Friendly staff and clean rooms. A complimentary late checkout of 1 hour was provided on request. Any service requested was prompt and rooms were cleaned daily.
Room was clean and comfortable. Hotel is a little far away from public transport options, when the weather is very hot. There seemed to be very minimal staff at the hotel, including during a fire alarm at 10pm, where the single staff member on duty asked me to manage other guests and stop them from re-entering the hotel while the alarms were going off. More staff, and more training on emergency protocols is needed here. This very obvious lack of staffing tainted what was otherwise a comfortable stay.
