The room was nice. And the hotel is beautiful. The only complaints I have is that some of our towels and bedding had stains on them and that our wifi never connected and our tv kept loosing signal. Other than those minute things, I would definitely stay here again.

Booked a room for my girl birthday and she loved it. Check in was easy my whole stay I was greeted from staff and had housekeeping my entire time I was there very much appreciated. Clean room very comfortable bed. There is a mini fridge in room but no microwave. However there is a microwave on tha 15th floor in the lil gift store which is accessible until late night. Didn't get into heated pool but it looked clean. Tha fitness center had plenty of workout equipment which was a plus. They have a buffet for breakfast that's 26$ smelled good but I just ate leftovers from tha night before haha. There is a restaurant that has nice views of tha city and a bar seating as well. Bartenders were amazing. A lot of shopping centers and restaurants within walking distance as well. Will be back thanks Voco.

Although the room and experience was almost right, there were a few issues to where I felt like I deserved a discount for. First, the hotel advertised casting content to the TV’s but my room did not have a functioning TV at first, requiring a technician to come fix it across the first two to three days of my stay. Then, housekeeping came in to clean the room and left the door propped open for the entire day, leaving all my belongings exposed and easily able to be stolen while I was out. I had the best experience I could, but feel that I shouldn’t have paid what I did after having these issues.
