Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the hotel's ideal city-center location and the spacious, modern rooms, some located as high as the 21st floor, which offer great views. The breakfast is generally well-received, and the observation floor with its American bar provides a unique experience. A few guests have mentioned that the hotel rooms lack a refrigerator, which they view as a basic amenity.
