I was blown away by the breathtaking view from my room on the 23rd floor overlooking the city lights and hills. The rooms were nice and clean, but a mix-up led to a single bed instead of a double. The proximity to the fitness center was convenient, but the noise from the freeway was noticeable.

Rooms

The view was what made my stay unforgettable, but there was a mix-up with the room type. The cleanliness was top-notch.

The dining options were good with a variety available, but the pricing was on the higher side for some items. The voucher for breakfast at Denny's was a practical addition.

The hotel offered various services such as room service, car hire, and valet parking. However, some facilities like a washer and dryer were lacking.
