This a beautiful property, we mostly enjoyed our stay. However we were disappointed on our first night as we were assigned a room with a lot of street noise, as a result we got no sleep! Additionally the bathroom was tiny and very outdated, not what you'd expect from a 5 star establishment. I gathered that small bathrooms seem to be an overall theme throughout the hotel. On the second night we changed rooms and had a much better experience (with a slightly bigger bathroom and no street noise).

This hotel is great! The staff were awesome and the location was perfect. A few minor issues with our room. A light was burnt out and the fan in our bathroom was pretty dirty. These are things I think should be easily taken care of especially for a hotel

The restaurant is currently under renovation, making it difficult to find a temporary dining option, and even then, the available options are unsatisfactory and don't match its high price.
