My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the lounge and breakfast were delicious, making it a perfect hotel in the best location. However, my room was not ready at the official check-in time. Despite that, the great breakfast made up for it.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with balconies for a relaxing stay at the Radisson and Marriott properties. The service was lacking, with unprofessional behavior at the reception desk. The location is central but lacks charm. The dining experience was inconsistent with cold meals served. While the facilities were adequate, the overall value for money was questionable.

8.2/10

The hotel offers spacious and nice rooms, but I was puzzled by the balcony that required supervision to open. The service was very nice overall, despite some noisy communication among staff. The location is convenient, within walking distance to many attractions and dining options. The dining experience was fabulous, especially in the Executive Lounge. However, the mixed signals given by the staff were a bit off-putting. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor hiccups.
