My stay at the hotel was a complete turnaround from my last visit! The check-in and check-out process was incredibly fast, and I enjoyed the access to the 9th-floor lounge with great appetizers and a hot breakfast. The staff were exceptionally helpful, and the Christmas decorations were stunning. However, I had a disappointing experience during the New Year's Eve party, which felt unorganized and overpriced.
