The room was very old, advertised as having a hot tub - it did not it had a bath with air jets that looked dirty, shower was like warm, gym equipment was very poor. The hotel in my opinion is maximum 3 stars and the description on the website is not reflective of the quality of the hotel. I would never stay here again.

Room had a sandy floor and our key cards stopped working almost every time we left the room. Otherwise a decent place to stay, great location, and view from roof deck was incredible.
