I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were very clean with both modern and classic touches, and the breakfast in the dining room which all the rooms are built around was great. The bathroom was modern and perfect. The service was top-notch, with the staff being very accommodating, even helping me cart my luggage up the stairs. The location was comfortable with good views of the city, and I made sure to visit the City Park to see the monkeys. The dining experience was nice and simple, with fabulous choices available. Overall, a great place to stay with lovely views and a cozy lounge area.

The room was beautiful with a nice mix of modern and classic furniture and a lovely view. However, the air conditioner was positioned above the side of the bed and blew uncomfortably on the person sleeping on that side.
