Fantastic Stay at a Prime Location

prime locationgreat amenitybreakfast menusignature cocktail
I appreciated the location, with easy access to main attractions. The room provided several amenities, including a Nespresso machine, minibar. White Company toiletries. Complimentary water and shortbread were a nice touch. The table service at breakfast had a good menu selection. Cocktails at the bar were great too (try the signature ones!).
The music was quite loud on Friday night. It was audible even from my room on the first floor.
