Parking note. Problematic — Garage is small, narrow, and frequently full; hotel over-books despite pre-paid parking reservations, forcing valet to move cars multiple times per night without clear organization.

What guests report

View
Sea-view suites on higher floors with balconies offer spectacular vistas; street-side and pool-view rooms lack sea views; rooms ending in 1 face noisy street
Bed & mattress
King-size beds described as very comfortable and spacious; some guests found mattresses overly firm or (in rare cases) worn/sagging
Bathroom & water
Modern fixtures with rainfall showers; water pressure and temperature generally praised; limited counter/shelf space; open-plan shower allows water to spill onto floor; bathroom doors lack proper privacy seals
Wi-Fi
Unreliable and patchy, especially in corner suites; described as 'works on and off when it wants' and below 5-star standards
Breakfast
High quality à la carte service with fresh-made dishes; praised for creativity and execution; some guests prefer buffet style and find ordering system cumbersome
AC / heating
Rooms only air-condition while guest is present (key-card activated); reported as ineffective in summer heat; some rooms have non-functioning AC units; heating in winter adequate
Elevator
Single functional elevator during peak times, causing 5-minute waits; reportedly too few for building capacity

Local knowledge

Rooms ending in 1 face street noise from Café Market 43; request rooms on opposite side for quieter stay, especially weekends
Book sea-view rooms if possible—they cost more but guarantee better views and avoid overlooking noisy street-side areas
Breakfast is à la carte only—don't expect buffet; arrive early or order directly from menu in your suite to avoid wait
