My stay at Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff was truly a dream come true, offering really good service from the moment I arrived. The rooms were beautifully spacious, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my experience was nice. However, I found the isolation from the city a bit discouraging; while it provided safety, it also meant I missed out on the local culture. Overall, it was an lovely experience, but I'd prefer a location that allows for more city exploration.
