Room was ready on a slightly early arrival which was great after a long flight. Side table in room took 3 days to be fully cleaned. Toilet flush which was continuously flushing once reported was fixed same day. Breakfast & reception staff were friendly everyday. Only negative is I could still hear outside traffic even on 11th floor! But great city view so couldn’t complain.
