Pros:

Great location, but unfortunately the service did not justify the price.
We paid around $420 for one night (plus parking), and it wasn’t worth it. The room had only two towels, no tissue box, and the coffee maker barely worked and even spilled hot water. Parking was expensive, and EV charging was not free. The front desk wasn’t very welcoming either.
The location is the only real highlight. Overall, I think an Airbnb would offer much better value for the same price.

Cons:

Just location and view
