"Beautiful hotel, but the facilities need upgrading. The showers were slippery and dangerous. The room was so hot at night despite temperatures being cold for the season of travel. But the hotel was located in a great spot so I can't complain too much since I only needed it for a place to lay my head. If I was there for the hotel specifically, I might look elsewhere.
