heavenly bedsroom goodiespool rulesinconvenient pool

Beds were really heavenly!!! I reminded me of I was sleeping on a cloud. The view was lovely!!! I especially liked the selection of goodies in the room.

The rules around the pool and rooftop bar were the worst thing about my visit. The pool does not allow children after 12 p.m. This is really inconvenient for families. I don't understand why the pool cannot stay open later for hotel guests only. This could be unstaffed.

The advertised Wi-Fi was weak, and I found this frustrating, because I needed to work! It kept disconnecting, so I used my cellular data. The minibar's prices were high. I expect it at this level, but still. The hotel should do better on soundproofing.
