Really good Stay, A TRUE Gem

spacious room clean room window seat great breakfast
The hotel has spacious, clean rooms. I especially enjoyed the long windows in my room, ALSO windows on either side offered ample light. The bathroom featured a window seat and a lovely bath and shower combination. Breakfast was amazing, indeed one of the best I've experienced.
I found the bright green emergency light INSIDE the bedroom slightly disruptive to sleep because it could not be turned off.

limited cocktails overpriced food
I found a couple of things less than stellar. The advertised cocktails were a no-go on several nights, apparently dependent on who was working. it was frustrating when i wanted to unwind, but the staff said they were too busy. the food, while decent, didn't quite live up to the hype i saw online, so it felt overpriced!
