Really good Riverfront Experience
breakfast buffet water station rooftop bar comfortable bed
I found the breakfast buffet very extensive. The room featured a coffee machine and complimentary still and sparkling water. I greatly appreciated the rooftop bar. Its staff were consistently friendly and helpful. The suite offered ample space with a comfortable bed.
The gym is located underground, and its lack of an attached bathroom was slightly inconvenient.

Fantastic Stay with Really good Amenities
spacious layout flavorful menu
The location allowed easy access to many key sites. My room had a spacious layout and comfortable furnishings. I especially liked the thoughtful touches and attention to detail. The restaurant offered great dining and attentive service, with a simple but flavorful menu.
I found the lack of soap dishes in the bathrooms slightly inconvenient. I would have appreciated having a designated spot to place soap to keep the area tidy.
