The hotel is beautiful, in the heart of the city. The staff is amazing and always ready to help you in any way. I highly recommend including breakfast in your reservation; it's worth every penny. And if you can add the Premium Level. It's the best of the best. Drinks and food are included all day. They have a variety of delicious food options, and the service is outstanding. We are planning to go back again. I am a very happy customer.
