The rooftop restaurant included breakfast and a handy 24-hour café. I guess that was acceptable.
I was not thrilled that the thermostat in my room did not work. It got quite cold. I asked for help multiple times, but apparently, this was normal. That seems unlikely. The staff seemed incompetent.

The location was unbeatable. It allowed easy access to many historical sights. The staff was professional and helpful. They provided complimentary water bottles plus a 24/7 snack bar. The rooftop restaurant offered an amazing view and the breakfast included was good.
The gym equipment could use some maintenance. One of the treadmills was out of service. That was the only slight inconvenience !
