We booked a pamper package with a 4pm checkout - was terrific. The rooms aren't amazing and if you want the better views book a corner room. The breakfast buffet was awesome but expect to queue from 10 to 20 minutes to be seated if you arrive after 10am.
The cocktail lounge on the 36th floor had a function and so the best views were off limits to the public.
On the whole a good hotel experience but not amazing for 5 star.
