The hotel and staff are were very nice. Sofitel needs to staff their valet parking better and turn down the air conditioning in the breakfast cafe. Otherwise a wonderful place, great room.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (349 reviews)
While the rooms were on the smaller side which I must admit was a little concerning. Once getting in the room it made sense and flowed flawlessly everything from the view to the bed was amazing the staff helped me with my special request with ease and made everything so easy that alone made the trip 10x better
