EXCELLENT Hotel Experience!

fantastic locationhelpful staffamazing barvery nice views
I was so happy with the location! It was a short walk to major attractions! It was also close to many restaurants, so I had plenty of choices. I especially loved the AMAZING 5th-floor terrace bar. The views were very nice! The staff were so helpful .
The breakfast was slightly repetitive. It was the same options each morning. This was a minor detail overall though!
