“The location certainly stands out; it's a short walk to both the city center and harbor. I like the hotel's eco-friendly initiatives and the Sky Bar on the 13th floor-panoramic views are always a plus. It's a solid option, particularly if you're looking for a pet-friendly stay with flexible room layouts.”
