Excellent service

First time staying here with my wife and her assistance dog. The staff were excellent from the moment we arrived, putting my wife at ease and respecting that the dog was working. For an executive room, it was a little small but had everything we needed. The breakfast was quite expensive (we didn't prebook it) but was excellent quality and, again, great service. We will definitely return.
