Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We really enjoyed the aesthetics of our room and the incredible view, as well as the proximity to shops and restaurants in town. We didn’t get the most restful sleep, though - the bed coils were noticeable (but supportive) and the walls are relatively thin so any noise from the halls or neighboring rooms was audible. The staff was attentive, but there was a shift in tone when we opted to get dinner and breakfast elsewhere (not at the hotel). We still had a nice stay and would recommend it to others.
