The room included a well-stocked minibar with a variety of beverages. I found slippers in the wardrobe. They were offered without extra charge. The breakfast buffet included a wide array of choices. I especially liked the fresh pastries. Staff assisted me with directions to local attractions. They provided helpful suggestions.
The carpet in the room showed minor signs of wear. This did not significantly affect my stay however.
