The location was excellent. It was close to many shops and restaurants. The hotel offered valet parking, very convenient. The breakfast was also good.
The tv showed no channels. It was a smart tv. I was unable to watch any streaming services. The wi-fi only worked in one corner of the room. The telephone in the room did not work.
