I stayed at this hotel recently, and I have to say, it was a great experience overall. The rooms were lovely and cozy, with complimentary cookies that added a nice touch. The amenities were top-notch, and the bed was super comfortable. However, I did find the gowns in the room a bit scratchy at times. The service was exceptional, with great attention to detail and friendly staff making my stay truly enjoyable. The location, though a bit tricky to navigate through the maze of streets, turned out to be a plus as it was right in the city center, making it convenient for exploring. The dining options offered a wonderful view, with a variety of choices that included delicious bagels. The facilities were well-kept, and I particularly enjoyed the restaurant upstairs where they serve dinner with a view.
