Superb reception and Breakfast staff.

The stay was comfortable. Reception and breakfast staff were superb. Housekeeping could be better. They knocked to clean our room before we went out for breakfast. We told them we will be out in 10 minutes. Indeed we were. We were down to breakfast only to come back to our room undone. We took a nap had a do not disturb before we went out. Went out after lunch time. Came back later still our room was not done. That was the only downside of our stay.
