Lovely stay, great view

A very relaxing stay. Great location and great views from my tenth floor window but sometimes a long wait for the lift - there are only 2 lifts for the entire building. I ended up using the stairs to go down most times. I liked that there was a shelf in the shower - it makes things a lot easier. Everything was very clean and the restaurant food was delicious
