“This hotel manages to feel both accessible and luxurious, a difficult balance to strike. The connection to the mall is a significant convenience, and the proximity to the airport is genuinely practical, yet the waterfront rooms offer a surprising sense of calm and an impressive perspective on the city. The dining, particularly breakfast and the dinner buffet, stands out as a definite strength, as does the genuinely attentive service that seems to foster loyalty among its guests.”
