I found such kindness in the staff. Their smiles felt genuine. the rooftop pool was a peaceful retreat with a lovely view of the skyline. breakfast was a beautiful spread of quality items. I especially loved the fresh fruit.
I was a little disappointed that there wasn't more light in the room initially. It felt a bit dim during the day.

the supreme family room was enormous, i just loved all the space we had! staff helped prepare takeaway breakfasts and that was super helpful for our early tours. valet parking worked quickly and made things easier, especially since the area is so central.
the gym did not have as many machines as i hoped for.
