Excellent Amenities and Location

The hotel boasts large, clean rooms. The rooftop bar features amazing views. I appreciated its proximity to the park and several art museums. The Michelin star restaurant offered an exquisite dining experience. I found that the experience was worth every cent.
The hotel charged extra for amenities like the indoor swimming pool. I expected this to be included in the price. This policy felt nickel-and-dimey, and was not in line with my expectations.
