a good choice

generous surpriseelegant designdark roomshower enclosure
the hotel upgraded us. we received a suite without extra charge, a generous surprise. the location has no match, i love it. its design is elegant, so romantic, and the service was excellent.
the room was very dark. i could barely see anything in the evening when i checked in. floors, furniture, and walls were all grey. the bathroom opens into the bedroom area. there is glass, and the shower has no enclosure. water went everywhere during my first shower.

underwhelming design and service hiccups

convenient accesslack of privacybroken coffee machine
the location was acceptable, providing convenient access to nearby attractions.
i found the design choices to be quite odd (especially the bathroom layout). the lack of privacy due to the sliding bathroom doors was definitely a drawback. the coffee machine in my room did not work, and the fridge struggled to keep anything cold.

Mixed Feelings About Design and Service

fresh pastriesslow serviceloud music
The breakfast was good, especially the selection of fresh pastries and fruit (I really enjoyed the variety).
I found the service inconsistent. The rooftop restaurant was a letdown. Staff seemed uninterested and slow to respond. The loud music made conversation difficult, a shame, since I wanted to enjoy the view and the evening.
