The room was very modern, with all kinds of climate friendly touches. The thermostat was easy to use and control and the a/c was absolutely silent. I loved the option of sitting on the king size bed, at the work desk, or in a comfortable lounge chair. Our room overlooked the beautiful riverwalk area, modern office buildings, and the hotel pool below. There was a little noise from the pool, but it was worth it for the views.
