The rooftop restaurant offered acceptable views.
The room was small. Opening even ONE suitcase made it difficult to move around. I was further annoyed by the concierge WHO yelled at me for asking about the room size. This was hardly the relaxing experience I anticipated.

The breakfast offered a great selection of items and the view from the dining area was acceptable.
The room I was assigned was small. You could barely open a suitcase, hindering movement around the bed and access to the exit door.
