satisfactory stay

friendly staffdelicious foodplentiful breakfastfew socketsold interioroverpriced hotel
the staff provided excellent service. our room had tea, coffee, and fluffy white towels. the food in the grill was delicious, and breakfast was plentiful. i found the staff very friendly and helpful.
the room had just two sockets, and none were close to the bed. i saw no bottled water, robes, or slippers. this felt overpriced for a 4-star hotel. i also noticed the interior felt old.
