It’s right where I needed to be and the price seemed pretty reasonable for all it offered. I think I may have lucked out being on a high floor, but the views were outstanding, the airflow between windows was great, and the water pressure was a true gift after lots of walking. I really enjoyed the nearby shops and restaurants and the attentive front desk. There is no gym but there are plenty of other things to do around the area. I would return.
