Showers are badly designed
Unfortunately, some guests have mentioned that they find the shower design with a lack of door to be frustrating as water can get onto the floor easily. This makes the bathroom messy and slippery.

Rooftop bar can create noise
A small number of guests have been frustrated by the noise that can sometimes be heard from Stratus Rooftop Lounge and recommend having a room on a lower floor to avoid excess noise.
negative:
Small rooms are a bit of a squeeze
