I have mixed feelings about this hotel. On the bright side, the bed was divine, and the rooms offered especially scenic views. However, I kept falling off the standard lamp, and the furniture was very basic and shabby. The hotel's location on the hill was unique, but waiting forever for a drink in the cocktail bar was a downside.
