Beautiful hotel with pristine rooms. Abundant luxury in-room amenities (robes, slippers, coffee, tea, and lots more). Great location close to bus station, train station, and multiple restaurants. The staff were friendly, professional, and efficient. Seamless login to wifi. Was able to stream from my device to TV with no technical issues. Never had to wait more than 5 seconds for an elevator. I love that it was actually possible to open the window too! (just a few inches, but enough to get fresh air). Thanks for a terrific stay!
