"We stayed in a suite on the 26th floor, which had to pull out bed for our child. It was very spacious and well appointed. The little kitchen was well equipped and had a fridge and freezer and coffee maker/microwave, dishwasher and hot plate. We didn't need all those things, but appreciated. The pool was great. Had some good meals at both restaurants."
