Room was clean and bed was comfortable, but they need a chair or real couch instead of the uncomfortable half couch abomination that’s in there. View was excellent. Breakfast was excellent, but pricey. I thought the dinner was average. Close to public transport and the area is walkable. Staff was awesome and always available to help. The hotel itself is probably a little above average, but the staff is what pushes the rating higher.
