superb location and great facilities

clean roomsmart tvgreat air conditioningceiling window

the room was very clean. a smart TV provided good entertainment options. air conditioning and heating worked great too. i really found the floor to ceiling windows excellent, it.

the hotel breakfast wasn't up to par, the salad bar felt limited, and some items weren't refilled promptly. it was a slight letdown compared to other aspects of the hotel.
