Great place to stay. Very well located. Inadequately pricing for the in room mini bar and food. Breakfast is too expensive for what you get, my advise drop prices you will get more customers. A 5 star hotel must have a sauna, you do not. Besides that all the rest is great.

Overpriced - lackluster hotel amenities
Overall, I was not impressed with this hotel. Service was average. I had their breakfast and the food quality was mediocre; coffee was burnt and bitter. The waiter almost broke the coffee mug on my hand, also he did not refill our drinks and disappeared the whole time. On the other hand, the linens were clean and the toiletries were designer made. However, the parking situation is subpar and expensive $65 per night. Also, for the price one pays to stay per night, plus the daily hotel fee one should receive top tier service. The hotel does not offer complementary products such as toiletries, beverage, bath robe, or sleepers. Giving guests $1 bottles of water is not top tier complementary service. The other guests were shouting and cursing in the middle of the night which was disturbing. The positive the water views and the contemporary aesthetic but does not compare to other high end hotels in the area in which I stayed in the past. Will not be returning, that’s for sure!
