So many little touches not found in other hotels - complimentary snacks and water in the room, heated towel warmer, ceiling fan… not to mention all the extra little receptions - wine and cheese at 6pm, pie at 8pm, and to do for croissants for breakfast. Didn’t even need to leave the hotel to find food! Will definitely go back.
