Great spot, great views.
Pros:

Great location right on the Esplanade with lovely views over the water. The room was comfortable and overall we enjoyed our stay. We did have to change rooms due to a leaking air conditioner, but staff were helpful in resolving this. Overall, still a pleasant stay in a very convenient spot.

Cons:

The only real downside was the traffic noise during the night, which was quite noticeable.

Agréable d'avoir le parking à disposition.

Cons:

dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de possibilité de prendre le petit déjeuner. Maintenant il y avait des travaux au niveau de la reception, ce qui est peut être la raison.
