Mixed Experience. Issues Noted

limited bar hourslack of water
I found some aspects of my stay disappointing. The limited hours for the rooftop bar were an issue. It closed quite early each night. This restricted opportunities to enjoy the views. the lack of complimentary water in the room seemed stingy given the hotel's price point. These details detracted from the overall experience.
