Bien ubicado, lindas vistas pero restaurante mediocre
Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

Reservamos una habitación Deluxe King Harbour View, La vista era linda , pero para calefaccionar la habitación había un equipo enorme en el piso el cual cuando lo prendimos porque hacía frío el ruido era insoportable, también fuimos al restaurante que calificaban estupendo pero la verdad a mi me trajeron una carne quemada y tenía nervios, una porquería, soy Argentina y sé de carnes y te la cobran carísima.
