The breakfast buffet had a great selection, and andrea showed us around and offered extra courses, a nice touch.

The room wasn't cleaned properly during my two-night stay! when I complained, the receptionist argued that i had refused cleaning. This wasn't true, and she remained rude despite my repeated explanations.

amazing kindnessprompt attentionelegant decorsuper clean bathroom

The staff demonstrated amazing kindness and helpfulness throughout my visit. Every request was met with prompt attention and genuine care. The room featured elegant decor, a large king bed, and super clean bathroom facilities. Attention to detail by staff was especially notable. I found the fitness suite, sauna, and steam room well maintained and quiet. I appreciated the concierge arranging for the sauna to be switched on before my use.

I found the key to be quite large and somewhat inconvenient to carry.
