central location rooftop terrace helpful staff small room tricky entrance early check-out

i loved how central it was! you step right out into the heart of the city. the rooftop terrace offered fantastic views of the iconic towers. plus, the staff was really helpful in giving directions.

the room felt a little small. i didn't like that it was tricky to find the entrance initially. also, the early check-out time at 10:30 am felt too rushed.
