Room was very clean, serviced daily. Bathroom was clean and spacious. We had a problem with the TV not working after we checked in. Mentioned it to the receptionist on our way out for a stroll, when we came back it was all fixed! Breakfast buffet was very nice, plenty of choice. My husband who is lactose intolerant was pleased to see lactose free milk and lactose free yogurt at breakfast as well as plant based choices. The chandeliers around the hotel was a bit of a 'wow' factor. All made for a wonderful stay. Wouldn't hesitate to return.
