Confortable, spacious room. Kind, attentive staff. No room service, surprising for a full service hotel. Extremely difficult to even do this review-no internet connection. Wifi was extremely poor, making it impossible to work and to manage issues that required internet connectivity.

A good stay, except for the view.

This was just an overnight stay. We arrived late and left at 8am. The view was not enticing at all but it didn't really matter in our case. Otherwise our stay was great.
