"Location was absolutely perfect. Our suite had a view of Ponte Vecchio - hard to beat. It was always impeccably clean - very important for me - and always smelled so good. I wanted to buy the fragrance for my own home! Breakfast was phenomenal with great coffee and a nice selection. Atmosphere was top. I would love to come back here for sure. "
