Outstanding view.

Had a great stay at the tower hotel. Our room 247 had a fantastic view although it was small but very comfortable, the only thing missing was a bed side table or even a small shelf at one side of the bed. The breakfast was great everything you could want & more. Would definitely stay here again.
