Wonderful stay!

helpful staffexcellent restaurantlovely staffbottled water
The staff were helpful. They provided fans when I asked. when my mother left something in the room, they offered to post it! The restaurant was excellent. I enjoyed both an evening meal and breakfast. Both were served by lovely staff.
I wish there was bottled water in the room, it would have been nice, especially late at night.

The room I occupied had a distinct lack of soundproofing. Street noise permeated the walls all night. the breakfast service had long waits and the staff seemed overwhelmed, the breakfast buffet choices were lacking. There were limited selections.
