Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The view is great and the environment is decent. However, we received a call from the hotel staff urging us to check in because they close at 6 PM. This was quite surprising and inconvenient. What if we arrive after 6 PM—do we lose our fully paid booking and can’t check in? This policy makes no sense for a hotel and really affected our overall experience.

We stayed in unit 206, which is nice but could use some updating. For example, it has two mismatched wine glasses and the decor is tired. The place is clean, warm, and has a great view.
