a stay with some downsides

rooftop bareasy parkingcarpet staingrease smell
the staff were friendly at the front desk. the rooftop bar has great views. parking was easy because of help from staff at the garage.
the hotel seems to be short staffed which affected service. the cleanliness could be improved as i saw stains on the carpet. the smell of fried grease from the rooftop bar's kitchen impacted the atmosphere.

The breakfast was not great. The jug to boil water for tea was not plugged in. The water dispenser was empty, and no cream was available for the waffles. The food was lukewarm. bordering on cold. The breakfast person seemed grumpy.
