I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was amazing, close to many great sights, and the rooms were clean and quiet, but there was a minor issue with a leakage under the sink. The service was friendly overall, though a bit impersonal at times. The dining options were of good quality but somewhat limited, and the facilities were satisfactory.
