High Floor ending in 21 - BEST view of the city

Make sure to get a room ending in 21!! We were on the 9th floor (room 9021), and it has THE most spectacular view of the city. Our only complaint is that the bathroom has no counter space, but for that view, it works!! Very reasonably priced, a great location, and excellent service.
