I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms had a unique minimalist style with some lovely decor and comfy beds, but there was no closet or area to stow my gear. The service was decent with room service available, housekeeping did a good job, and they even offered a welcome drink, but I found no special pet amenities. The location was a bit unfortunate as I was unable to enjoy the specific area, although being near other attractions and restaurants was a plus. The dining experience was superb with the freshest fish, and the facilities were adequate for my needs.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience for me. I loved the unique minimalist style of the rooms and the great original bedding, but the lack of a closet or area to stow gear was a downside. The service was top-notch with room service available, housekeeping on point, and welcoming pet amenities. The location was a bit of a miss for me as I was unable to enjoy the surrounding area, but the proximity to amazing restaurants made up for it. The dining experience provided self-service food options, which was convenient. The facilities were modern and in good condition.
