Worth coming back to.

We enjoyed the overall experience and had a great view from the room. The only minor draw back was that our room was located below the Club 360, and we heard some excessive noise (furniture dragging?) presumably when staff were opening or closing up. No cover for the club was nice but a VIP area would have been better, given the room cost. Staff was over-all very helpful, and it was nice to store our luggage before check-in, leaving us free to bounce around the city a little with the location perfect for easy sightseeing. Honorable mention to the breakfast buffet, we loved it!

A/C was not turned on so the room was a little warm at times. Elevators were quite small so crowded at peak hours. The room only had one plug near the desk that was European specs. Sofa was uncomfortable and pillows kept sliding. Breakfast was excellent with many options. Front desk staff were excellent and helpful. Hotel was in a great central location and very close to several top attractions.
