Nightclub with hotel rooms

It's advertised as a hotel with a rooftop bar and garden. But the rooftop is actually a nightclub, and the vibe is that the place is a nightclub with a hotel attached. It was quiet and clean, the bed was comfortable, and staff (when around) were pleasant and helpful. The bathroom is small and a wetroom, and it doesn't lend itself to much privacy. Decent accommodations, but not advertised accurately and would not stay again.

Dear Public Hotel Team, I am writing to express my concern regarding the “All Access Fee” that was added to my recent stay at your hotel. I stayed in room 1503 from Monday, September 1st to Friday, September 5th. We were charged nearly $50 per night for this fee, which came as a surprise since it was not clearly presented as part of the nightly rate. During our stay, we did not use the gym or any other additional amenities included in this charge, as we already hold Equinox memberships that provide us with global access to fitness facilities and classes. Had we been aware of this additional fee beforehand, we would have likely considered a different hotel. This lack of transparency feels misleading and does not reflect the level of hospitality we expected. I kindly request that you review these charges. At a minimum, I suggest incorporating such fees into the published nightly rate so that future guests are fully informed. In our case, I ask that you please consider reimbursing us for this charge or adjusting the final bill accordingly. Thank you for taking the time to review my concern. I look forward to your response.

This stay is more for someone who is staying overnight not really for a staycation for the amenities. There is barely a proper and tasty breakfast, lunch and dinner option. The food is kinda poor quality and is premade as well. I would say that there were a lot of things missing in the room like hand stains on windows, missing chrome cast option for TV and after speaking with the hotel they never followed up.
