mixed feelings about this stay
nonexistent view standard place
The location was acceptable. It was a short walk to restaurants.
i paid quite a bit, but the room reminded me of any standard place. the view was essentially nonexistent since the balustrade blocked the window entirely in room #15. i really did not get the 4-star feel, and honestly, i expected more..
