  • Plus, their room service was fantastic for those lazy days when I just wanted to chill in my room. On camera42:06

Room17 mentions · 7 filmed
  • For an enhanced experience, consider booking a room with breathtaking city views. 9
  • My standard room on the 11th floor was spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering views across the residential side of the city. As well as a king size bed, the room had plenty of space for a comfortable armchair and matching ottoman, and a neat curved desk. 6
  • There were a few niggles with the room itself - there was no coffee machine, the tea bags were low quality Lipton affairs, and facilities to charge devices were limited, as neither charging socket in the desk's media panel worked, and one of the two bedside table sockets was occupied by the alarm clock's plug. 6
  • The room was super cozy and clean, which I loved, and the view from up there was just fantastic. On camera40:43
  • One nice thing about this room was that because both bedrooms were completely separate, you could come and go into the apartment as you pleased without disturbing your neighbor. 14
  • The suite had 2 bedrooms, a living area, a full kitchen (including a stove, refrigerator, and microwave), and a dining room. It was absolutely enormous and a great place to entertain friends or have folks come over. 14
  • so this is a two queen bed with balcony view on the first floor the beds are good size and you got n tables both sides of the bed nice Smart TV mirrors on each side which is really cool I've not seen that before On camera151:21

  • With these executive floor express elevators, you don't have to worry about stopping on every floor up to your room, which I thought was really cool. 14
  • we got Cedars baby crib here ready and the balcony not the best view in the world but hey we got a balcony so one seat here On camera151:39
  • Comfy and clean rooms. My room was spotless, cozy, and had a great view, making it easy to relax. On camera42:55
