I had an unfortunate experience at this hotel that overshadowed what could have been a relaxing stay. While the room had stunning views and was comfortable for a night, the overall service was lacking, particularly during breakfast and check-out. The location was convenient due to its proximity to the hospital, but I was left feeling more like a dollar sign than a valued guest. I can't recommend this hotel based on my experience.

I had a shocking experience upon arrival at the hotel, marked by poor reception and rudeness from the staff. After waiting outside for over 20 minutes, we felt unwelcome and treated with suspicion despite our intention to make a reservation. However, I later learned that the property has gorgeous facilities and great service from returning guests, suggesting that my visit may not have represented their usual standards. I can't see myself returning after such a disappointing first impression.
