The staff were very helpful. They promptly addressed my requests. The rooftop pool was open in the evening. I found this to be a great way to relax after a day of sightseeing (I really enjoyed the views!). The executive floor included a happy hour. It was a nice bonus.
The techno party on the roof bothered me. It limited access to the facilities. The noise continued past 10 PM. The hotel did not forward my final bill. I requested it, but I still have not received it.

I liked the cleanliness of the room. The daily cleaning service was both kind and efficient.
There was a party on the roof one night. Use of the facilities was limited. it was noisy until after 10 p.m. (not ideal when you're trying to relax). i also never received my final bill, even after requesting it.
