Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Booked a superior King room but unfortunately the room seemed like an average size with no view (there was a wall directly outside our window blocking sun/sky view). Apart from that the stay was great, the room was clean and the breakfast was nice with good selection of foods and drinks. Loved the later checkout time at 11AM. Hotel was very quiet and in an amazing location.
