i loved the central location, so close to everything. automatic doors at the entrance were great for hygiene. the décor had a very classy feel. it was a wonderful experience indeed!
Upon check-in, i wanted to reserve a table for dinner at the florentina restaurant, but it was unavailable. There were no apologies or any attempts to find a table later, made me very disappointed.
