The air conditioning was on power save the whole time and it was warm in the room with no air circulation. It would have been nice if the window wasn’t locked shut. The robot pizza making machine didn’t work but wasn’t marked as broken. The rooftop bar was nice and bartender was very nice. Front desk staff were nice and helpful."

The only downfall is we had to carry all of our luggage upstairs as there is no elevator. Laundry facilities were decent to use but drying clothes were very difficult with the amount of time it took.
