fresh choices friendly staff old furniture room bathrooms
The breakfast was scrumptious. It offered so many fresh choices, and sparkling wine was even available! the staff were very friendly, and the hotel was very clean. i really appreciated the high standard of cleanliness throughout the hotel!
my room however did not fully reflect a 5-star experience. the room furniture and bathrooms seemed a bit old, showing some wear and tear. i think there are better rooms available.
