    “Cleanliness, politeness of staff, hotel layout, room size was sufficient. Outside patio of terrace exceeded expectations, however was sometimes too chilly to enjoy it. Great view of the neighboring skylines of tall buildings. Having my own dining room, office desk, and secondary entertainment, living room type area, and multiple places to sit and shelving/storage spots was also a great factor. It was nice having a closet. The bathroom was very nice and quaint, but overall had much smaller than I would have guessed, not much space on the countertop for hygiene belongings and tooth brushes, as well as hair brushes, so that things wouldn’t be too close together or fall off. The style of amenities like the shampoo and shower soap smelled great, I liked using them.”

  • It was great!
