great size restaurant food friendly service worn carpet strange time pricey drink

My room was a GREAT size! The restaurant food was AMAZING!!! Service was really accommodating. friendly too. Breakfast on the rooftop had an AMAZING view.

I found the carpets worn out. The hotel infrastructure felt tired. The opening times for the rooftop bar were strange. I had to search for a waiter to get a drink. Drinks were pricey in the hotel.
