"The apartment was nice, spacious and clean. The check-in process was slightly convoluted and in order to access the pool facilities at the other hotel was slightly annoying. The pool facilities at this hotel were out of order and we were not informed about this until after booking. The view was nice. It should also be noted that the braille on the buttons in the elevator was misspelled in certain places. Other than that the accessibility was good."
