Excellent Stay

spacious roomcomfortable bedfriendly stafflimited minibar
My room was a spacious, bright super king room (room 4). The bed was especially comfortable, a welcome treat after my travels. I also enjoyed the shower. It had great water pressure. The staff was friendly and helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them.
I found that the minibar was not sufficiently stocked upon my arrival. It lacked a variety of beverage options and some snacks. I would have appreciated a better selection to enjoy in the room.
