It is a very beautiful hotel, very well located. We had an upgrade on our room, but it received a very bar odor from sometimes during the day. The Hotel offered us a change of room. Very nice staff and attentions.

The stay was excellent as we chose the hotel because of the vicinity and the closeness to major attractions. We booked through the website and got the most expensive option but found out at the property through the manager that there was an option for upgrade to premier rooms with a better view. That was quite shocking as the additional price for upgrade was significant and left a sour taste in our mouth as we were expecting the premiere room with a view on the website. We didn’t push it any further but my advise to other Travellers would be to compare other options
