The breakfast offered high-quality items and a wide selection. It made my mornings wonderful! the reception staff was warm, cheerful, and cute. housekeeping even left bottles of water and fresh towels outside my room when i had the 'do not disturb' sign up! it felt so considerate.
the mattress in my room felt a bit too soft for my liking, though i still slept okay.
