The customer service at the front desk and in the dining room was very poor. The body wash in the shower smelled like sewage. The room overall was large and we liked the floor to ceiling windows. The bar staff was attentive & friendly. We would not stay again.

It's a nice place, conveniently located and friendly staff. The WiFi was very spotty until they fixed it for the duration of our stay. Hot water was also intermittent, alternating between hot and cold in the mornings. Overall it's still a nice place to stay.
