“I found this spot to be an interesting mix of modern design and practical comfort, especially appealing if you're traveling with a dog-they really seem to think of everything. The rooftop bar buzzes with a great vibe, and the on-site dining adds a layer of convenience and quality that stands out. Overall, it strikes me as a solid choice, with a few service inconsistencies that I hope they address.”
