So fine at the Sofitel

Love the hotel and proximity to everything-I was just thinking they have their AC on way too high. It’s hard to eat and drink when it’s so cold in the bar and restaurant. Lovely place and the staff is all so very welcoming and friendly!!!! We have stayed there multiple times and will be back.
