i really appreciated the location of the hotel. the views were amazing and the breakfast was great. there was such a great selection to choose from, including lovely ladies in the kitchen cooking eggs to order (the omelets were amazing!).
the side streets nearby have been left unfinished for a while. it affected the area around the hotel's front entrance.
