fantastic stay! totally recommend it!
friendly staff great location excellent breakfast
wow, the front desk staff were super friendly and helpful. they gave me great recommendations for coffee beans and an alternative to the main reserve. the location was perfect , i could walk to restaurants, markets, and shops easily. the breakfast buffet was excellent and my suite had such a nice view.
the noise at night was a little bothersome , it sounded like dogs barking a lot , making it hard to sleep well every night.
