Thank you to Pascal (front desk) who checked us in, very friendly and easy to talk to, requested a good room with a view of downtown and he got us that. Antonio (valet) is friendly as well and we vibed we can trust him with our car. Parking is scarce since it’s being shared with the public. The second floor is the best part, lounge areas and balcony, unli free coffees/tea/cookies/tvs/bar! There are a lot of great restaurants and cafes around. Startbx right in front.
