The breakfast offered a good start to my day. i also found the bar area very inviting with many choices. the staff were excellent and very helpful throughout my stay.
The room i stayed in felt very minimal. I needed a place to put my belongings. the small table barely had enough space after i put the tea tray on it! the bathroom door also bumped into the bed, though the shower door hit the sink, it was still functional.
