My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience overall, especially with the attentive service and the delicious meals offered. The view from my room was breathtaking, although I did miss out on the riverfront side since I had a room facing the parking lot. The dining options were enjoyable, and I appreciated the variety available. However, I encountered a few issues with the cleanliness of the bathroom fittings, which were below my expectations. Overall, it was a pleasant getaway, but I believe there's room for improvement.
