Underwhelming Stay, Disappointing Aspects Noted

small room sizepoor noise isolation
The room size was smaller than expected for a quadruple. This made moving around with luggage difficult. The noise isolation was also a problem. Street noise was easily audible and affected sleep. I could also hear sounds from the pool above my sixth-floor room.

I loved the rooftop pool and the facilities up there. the room was satisfactory. We did not feel squashed, and the space felt adequate for four people. i appreciated the room size. i thought the hotel was pretty great.
during my stay, i was bothered by the cigarette smell. hopefully, they can improve this. i booked the same type of room, so i hope they do the same.
