Over-attentive service
Car parking arrangements poor - had to wait over 15 minutes when in a hurry to leave. Single rooms means single beds - if you remember what they are!

Nice Hotel
5-star service and great locations. Plumbing needs updating and the fitness center was not 5-star quality. Perfect location! The staff; however, more than made up for it. I would stay here again.
