Fair stay at the hotel.
helpful stafflive musicroom viewslow servicedated decorunderstaffed bar
The hotel staff were helpful with our luggage. Live music in the lobby added a nice touch. I enjoyed the view from the room I had.
The bar seemed understaffed! Service was slower than I expected for a luxury hotel. We had to wait longer for drink refills and initial service. The room decor felt somewhat dated. I would have preferred a more modern aesthetic.
