the restaurant provided a buffet breakfast to a high standard. i found the food and the staff to be great. housekeeping was nice and effective. check in was easy as well as check out.
the bathroom walls had stains. i realize dark paint might make them easily missed by cleaners, but it looked untidy. the room window vibrated a lot with the harsh winds outside. i did not enjoy peaceful sleep there. receptionists seemed unprofessional during my checkout.

solid hotel experience

uber accessgreat breakfastpleasant staffintolerable wind
I found catching an uber into town simple. breakfast was great. Jeff, the chef, worked outstandingly. the bedroom i had was cleaned nicely. The staff are always pleasant. doormen, receptionists, and breakfast staff all.
there were no views from any rooms and my assigned room was overshadowed by the large building immediately across the street. my subsequent allocation had intolerable wind noise. i did eventually get to a more than satisfactory solution once it was handled properly.
