10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was very clean and spacious. We loved the view! The toilet was having some issues flushing but nothing major. The staff was quick, kind and attentive and they accommodated a late check out for us. I do wish breakfast was included like some of the other hotels near by but overall it was a great stay!"
