The rooms offered comfy chairs and nice views. The service was exceptional with convenient amenities like dry cleaning and valet parking. However, the dining experience was lacking in variety, and the prices for some services were a bit high.

8.0/10

I have to say, this hotel is a mixed bag for me. On the upside, the rooms are clean and come with comfy chairs by the window, offering a nice view. The service is top-notch with dry cleaning available, and the location is excellent, being right in downtown with plenty of great restaurants nearby. But, on the downside, the dining options were lacking, and the price may not fully match the overall experience.
