breakfast had plenty of options even when the hotel felt busy. the rooftop terrace provided fabulous views, especially at sunset. the location was also convenient, close to main attractions. i especially liked the attentive staff who kept everything clean and well-kept.
i noticed the bathroom lighting in my room was a little dim, and it felt slightly dated. this didn't affect my stay too much, but it's something i observed.
