The location was fantastic. It was very close to many attractions. The rooftop bar also was a great feature! We enjoyed spending time there in the evening. The drinks were well-made.
The furniture looked a bit worn. Some pieces need some attention. The corridors also seemed very dim. More lighting would be helpful.
