The hotel had wonderful views, but the room I initially got was small for the price I paid. However, they promptly changed it within an hour, which was impressive. The service staff was polite and helpful, although not overly professional. The location was convenient for us, being close by while also being in a stylish pedestrian zone. The dining experience offered a wide range of delicious options. Overall, a good stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms, despite being for a disabled occupant, were comfortable with good quality amenities, and the central location was convenient. However, there were some issues with check-in, and cleanliness could have been better as the carpet needed more thorough vacuuming.
