While I didn't stay at the hotel, I had a wonderful dining experience at the restaurant on the 10th floor with stunning views during a thunderstorm. The food was delicious, particularly the perfectly cooked scallops and steak. However, the hotel itself feels a bit dated and could use some renovations, especially in the room accommodations.
