10/10 Excellent
"Adorable lobby and room. Shower was AMAZING! A corner cabinet or somewhere to store personal items would have been lovely. Upstairs rooftop was great, but the fireplace would only stay on for 5 minutes at a time, the champagne glasses were plastic, and the waiter called us Cougars. :-P"
