Enjoyed our stay
Pros:

Nice location. Staff fantastic.

Cons:

Breakfast and coffee were just ok/good. Roof+ pool were a nice bonus and why we chose this hotel. Expensive and on par with other places we stayed where the quality of everything was just better which is why we rated it good not great. For the pool and location I'd stay here again.
