great location fantastic staff superb food loose window wifi signal potential danger
I appreciated the location of the hotel. It was close to many shops and restaurants. The staff at the on-site restaurant were great. Dinner and breakfast were superb, especially the desserts. I highly recommend them.
I found that the room was a bit noisy. The window felt loose and potentially dangerous. The WiFi signal kept cutting out, and this was very inconvenient.
