Irene

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was lovely. We only tried one restaurant- expensive and the menu was very limited, we didn't try breakfast, the pricing was prohibitive. The hotel had an empty feeling, there was little interaction with the staff, no feeling of warmth, except from some of the door greeters. The check in person was frazzled. The checkout person made an error with our bill. Our room had paper thin walls, we had a woman on one side having the time of her life, moaning and squealing, and two rambunkshus young boys on the other playing chasings early in the morning for a significant portion of our 6 night stay.
