Nice outside area and fantastic view. Prices, especially for drinks, were steep, but that seems to be the case throughout the city. We did especially enjoy the location. I only wished I had a softer pillow.

Great location & views but outdated

Great tourist hotel. Staff work hard to keep clean & help customers BUT hotel has outdated decor in rooms, No Usb sockets & out dated lighting. Needs total upgrade of rooms decor & lighting. Hotel relys on Continental tourist.
