9.6/10 Exceptional! (201 reviews)
Overall clean rooms but not thought about in a good way. Everything is squeezed in a small area. TV is straight next to the bed. Hard to move freely in the room without taking extra caution so you don't hit something. Kitchenette is very small and crowded. Very little supplies for the room. On the other hand, good location.

If you can afford to splurge, this place is a treasure. Service like I’ve never experienced, and beautiful rooms and a great location. The restaurants are fancy French, also extremely good, but we didn’t dine in. This place is world-class.😊

Temperature control in the room was finicky and couldn’t be turned off. Room was large with a separate sleeping area. No view and frosted glass windows which were small. Very friendly staff in a convenient location. Sneaker by the door kept turning the light on at night but staff came and turned it off. Overall good stay.
