I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and had a great view, but they were not cleaned regularly, and the towels weren't changed as often as I would have liked. The big bathroom was a plus! The service was top-notch, especially the receptionists who were always helpful. However, the lack of scrambled eggs at breakfast was a bit disappointing. The location was superb, right in the heart of the city, making it convenient to explore. The facilities were decent, but nothing extraordinary.
