The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with a fabulous view, and the staff is pleasant and helpful. It is conveniently located within walking distance of many restaurants and bars, enhancing the overall experience. However, the dining experience was a bit underwhelming, and some areas could use improvement.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were clean, stylish, and very comfortable. The service was fast, efficient, and the staff was friendly. The location was excellent, with many restaurant options within walking distance. The dining experience was absolutely fantastic and fresh. However, the hotel felt very congested at times.
