really good stay

lovely rooms helpful staff private spa divine treatments
We found lovely rooms. the staff worked hard to give really good customer service. the spa is compact. It means you get to use it privately. treatments are divine with fabulous products, and a really skilled masseuse is available. the breakfast was the best i've had at a hotel in a long time.
we encountered a slight problem with the fire alarm with notification. it either was not maintained well or had some other problem. i recorded this issue and reported this to the front desk. i was told that they knew about this and will report to the manager.
