What a treat to find this beautiful rooftop pool 4 blocks from the capitol. The Liaison hotel is…read moregreat but the pool and bar 10 floors up make it even better. It's a nice size pool with many seating options all the way around. There are several areas with chaise lounges, umbrellas and tables, there are 4 cabanas to rent and many poolside lounge chairs. There is a bar with drinks and food options that opens at noon. The water is crystal clear and not over chlorinated. Water is a perfect temp to cool down in. It is open to the sky without building interference. Music in the background and a leafy fence to make the air conditioners invisible. There is a bit of noise from those on one end but not unbearable. There are also a few poolside games like bags, large Jenga and a sort of bucket toss. One downside is the lack of outlets and no hotel WiFi. Would recommend if you have some down time!

There was enough seating for the amount of people the pool can probably hold. In spite of it being a Saturday, the pool didn't feel crowded. They had enough lifeguards, each looking over one area of the pool. Also, there is a ramping for easy access if you can't use stairs to get into the pool. The kid pool was really nice as well. With the splash area! Only suggestion is take your own hand sanitizer or hand soap because there wasn't any in the bathroom. Other than that, everything was great!

There is varied parking. Lots B and C are closest to the track but the back lot has more than enough room for overflow. The track is tucked behind fencing cut there is more than enough space for tents and space to camp out outside the venue. While it's no VA Beach or Greensboro, the space does the job. The staff was kind and the park had more than enough police presence to keep it safe.

I normally wouldn't review my condo's pool, but I wanted to pay homage to the irreplaceable Kelly G. She should be here with me right now.

Thanks to Libby F. I have been to this pool twice. I stand to receive two more invites this summer…read more It is a great pool. Not kidney shaped like many condo pools but rectangular with a extra little piece of square on the end. This pool is the perfect pool to lounge away a lazy Sunday. Complete with deck chairs, chaise lounges, tables with umbrellas, and floatation devices. I've only been in the women's changing room but it's pretty nice. It has showers which is a nice touch for a pool at a condo where all members are within walking distance of their own home showers. There are lifeguards. And if some little kids jump in they sit in the high chairs. Thanks Libby F. For invitations to a pool that is as good as it gets!

I don't understand all the low ratings…read more A group of us decided to spend a whole Saturday at Penthouse. I went in with no expectations as it's a rooftop pool in the city. This usually means super slow service, with mediocre food. Needless to say, I was extremely blown away with the ambiance, food, and service. Ambiance: surprisingly when we went it wasn't as packed as I thought it would be. The scene was more relaxing than party central. In addition, the establishment had brand new modern furniture with cabanas and day beds. We had a nice view of the sunset Service: the service was 5 stars! Our waitress, Anaiah, was super friendly and helpful. She had a big smile on her face the whole time. She made sure we were taken good care of. Also, a shoutout to Ty for charging my phone. He offered to charge my phone as the battery was running low and he did it without a frown. Food: please keep in mind that you're eating at a rooftop pool not the Ritz Carlton. The food was pretty good considering where we were dining. I got the chicken avocado sandwich and my boyfriend got the hamburger. The burger and chicken were cooked well. The fries were crispy and delicious. I personally thought the food was priced fairly. We decided to order a bottle of rose so I can't speak for their drinks. But for four orders of food and one bottle of rose we ended up spending around $30pp (4 people total) not bad! My boyfriend and I ended up staying till around 8pm. It was such a relaxing yet fun Saturday! We will definitely be back :)

I was sorely disappointed. First, the building from the outside looks big, spacious and bright. On the plus side: The pool looks great -25yards and wasn't that busy on a Saturday morning. The locker room was ok. plenty of lockers (they give you keys to), showers were clean. On the not so plus side: the weights/cardio room is just one room, not all that big and limited in what it has. It felt like what you'd find in a big hotel versus what you'd expect a University to have. There were maybe 4 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, a few bikes, and some loose weights. The aerobics class was ok if you are 65+ (which almost everyone there was). The instructor started 10-15mins late, then ended 5mins late thereby starting the next class late as well. The instructor lead an ok class for a senior fitness group but she needed to loose at least 50lbs and therefore her form on lunges or even squats was awful. So, if you are a senior this is a 4* gym, costs only $85/quarter! If you are younger, and have to pay more, it is more like 2* and I would not recommend.
