Beautiful lobby bar and speak easy, friendly staff
What could be improved: Loved it all!Chanda from United States – 25 February 2025 (9/10)
Beautiful lobby, restaurant, and bar! The staff were exceptionally friendly. We loved having dinner and drinks and relaxing on the couches in the bar area. They were close enough to be part of the classic atmosphere but were private enough for conversation.
Rooms were wonderful, I appreciate that the hotel has kept many of the (well-maintained) vintage elements of the bathroom instead of giving in to the ultra-modern cookie cutter style of many other hotels.
What could be improved: We were a little disappointed with the pool and hot tub area, it was a bit dirty and looked like it had not been deep cleaned in a long time.靜文 from Taiwan – 9 February 2025 (8/10)
Good
