Top Floor of the building, spectacular views! Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Top Floor of the building, spectacular views!? The name is actually pretty accurate – I mean, you really are getting those spectacular views they’re promising. When I first walked into this 3-star spot, I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical (the name sounds like someone’s Airbnb listing, honestly), but once you get up there and see what they’re talking about, it makes perfect sense.

The thing is, this isn’t your typical hotel experience where you’re stuck looking at the building next door or some parking lot. Being on the top floor means you’re actually above most of the surrounding structures, so depending on which side your room faces, you might catch sunrise views that’ll have you setting an early alarm just to watch. I stayed there during what seemed like a quieter season – not sure if that’s typical or I just got lucky with timing – but the lack of street noise was refreshing. You get that sense of being elevated above the hustle without feeling completely disconnected from everything happening below. The rooms themselves are pretty straightforward for a 3-star property, nothing fancy, but they’re clean and the windows are large enough that those views become the real feature. I actually found myself spending more time just looking out than watching TV, which says something.

What really impressed me was how the staff seemed to get that the views are their main selling point – they’re genuinely enthusiastic about pointing out the best vantage points and times of day for photos. Check-in was smooth, and honestly, with a 9.0 rating, I can see why people keep coming back. It’s one of those places where the location and setting do most of the heavy lifting, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want. The elevator ride up feels a bit like anticipation building – you know you’re going somewhere with a payoff. If you’re someone who cares more about having an interesting view and decent comfort than having a gym or room service, this spot delivers on what it promises. Just don’t expect luxury amenities, but do expect to spend a lot of time by your window.
