We stayed for one day to celebrate New Year's Eve and watch the fireworks from our balcony, which offered an amazing view. The hotel was one of the best I have ever stayed in. The staff at the front desk were very attentive and friendly. Our room was spacious and the bed was cozy. The only problem was the AC unit, it was very loud and made it difficult to sleep.
