The view was amazing, the room was beautiful and clean. Beautiful dinning room as well, happy they had a Starbucks inside too. Staff was very welcoming and offered to help us out with anything we needed. Loved that the elevator only worked with the hotel key card. Doors closed and only allowed entry to those with hotel key cards, which made me feel safe.
