poor reception depleted pastries
The tv in my suite lacked proper reception. i complained, but was told there was no maintenance available. This was quite frustrating. the lack of an offer to look at it the next day or to change rooms seemed indifferent. also, the pastry selection at breakfast was depleted, a minor inconvenience for my wife

the hotel staff decorated our table prettily for our anniversary dinner. they were all friendly as well. the food was delicious, and carla attended to us very well (i am impressed by the staff attitude).
