I loved the huge corner location of the hotel with two balconies offering stunning city views, but being close to the rubbish collection area was a downside. The rooms needed brighter colors to lift the atmosphere, and although the coffee wasn't refilled in the mornings, the overall experience was reasonable.

The hotel turned out to offer a great stay. The rooms, albeit not ready on time, overlooking the rooftop pool were an upgrade, providing all the facilities we required for our 2-night stay. The service was exceptionally outstanding, making us feel like royalty. The location was good, with a view of the city and Sky Needle, though needing a little attention to detail in certain areas. The dining was a treat with a variety catering to all dietary needs, offering both raw and cooked food options. Overall, a nice spot for a short stay.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were cozy and inviting, especially being on a higher floor in the tower building with a lovely balcony. The kitchenette was super convenient with all the essential appliances. The service, although a little slow due to a long line at check-in, turned out great thanks to a helpful staff member named Pawanish who went above and beyond to assist me. The location offered a lovely view and was perfect for evening outings, even though the coffee area could use some improvement. Dining in the atrium was a delightful experience, and the hotel's facilities were top-notch.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, while a bit dated, was very clean and acceptable, offering a beautiful view over the harbor. However, there was an unpleasant lingering curry smell from previous guests. On the bright side, the room even had a small kitchen with an oven and microwave, which was handy.
