Great location with lots of restaurants and shopping close by. Loved the view from the roof top deck. The hot bath was great and would have been great after a long flight. We'll stay here first next time to get a relaxing hot bath on arrival. Hotel and staff were great with managing luggage before check in and after check out. We'll definitely stay here next time.
