Overrated. The Elevator and rooms at different levels so you always have to step up or down to take elevator. Restaurant food is mediocre. Rooms missing basic things like no hand towels and inconsistent water flow. No exhaust in the bathroom and bathroom door is just in front of bed. Rooms are definitely specious but poorly designed. I would not stay again.
