satisfactory stay

modern design friendly staff
The hotel has a modern and clean design. It's a short walk to major tourist spots. The rooftop restaurant has great views. The staff members were friendly and very helpful. I enjoyed the on-site spa, and found it quite clean.
The music played in the bathroom continues even after turning off the light, which I found quite annoying. one of the glass lamps in the bathroom was broken, so it didn't work well. Breakfast options were repetitive.
