Water should be free in the penthouse and continental breakfast would be a nice touch. As mentioned in previous reviews it’s very noisy on Canal street. Ear plugs are a must. 😊
Penthouse is amazing. Spacious and lovely decoration. Staff were helpful. Breakfast in the room was good.

We were in the middle of gayville and we didn’t know that when we booked :/ there was gimp masks and latex overload which we weren’t prepared for. It was also VERY noisy due to location so take earplugs!
The room was swanky... but there were some very questionable stains on the chaise long.

That the decorative pillows were dirty, I had to return it to the reception desk. I also did not like having a room on the same level as the reception desk.
