The environment and staff where super
Joseph from United States (8/10)
Room was nice but the lack of privacy in the bathroom was not good. The beds are really low to the floor. If I was not fit it would have been horrible. Food in restaurant was inconsistent. One morning the avacado toast was excellent the next day it was not. The view from our room was amazing. We loved it. The location was great for what we were doing. The elevators are very slow.
