Superb Stay Experience

helpful staffhotel designlimited options
I enjoyed a wonderful short stay. The front desk staff was both knowledgeable and courteous. Angela and Sebastian were especially helpful. I liked the hotel design, particularly the three levels of bathroom lighting and built-in nightlight.
The room service menu did lack variety. I think more options could have greatly enhanced the dining experience.
