I had high hopes for this hotel, but it seems to be slipping. The grand entrance gives off a five-star vibe, but the service just doesn't align with that expectation. While the rooms are spacious with decent views, the dining experience and check-in process left much to be desired. It feels like the hotel has lost a bit of its sheen, and I think there are better choices available for a similar price.
