8/10 Good
"Lovely hotel in a great location! The rooftop bar/restaurant is an highlight for the views. All of the staff are extremely professional, friendly and helpful. I’m not keen on the resort fee, but I appreciate this has become the norm in the US and this hotel has a better offering than many other hotels. I would definitely stay again."
