I couldn’t fault the service nor the food or drinks. They were definitely what made the experience more comfortable than not however when I stay in hotels I tend to look at the bathroom for the most details. The only issue I found was the shower units not being tall enough and the fact that the water run out the shower effortlessly. Other than that, I can’t fault it any other way and would happily stay there for another night or two.
