We had a suite, spotlessly clean, nice and roomy with decent beds that could have been a bit softer, and an excellent shower. Staff were universally polite and motivated to please. The location was perfect. The Osa restaurant was a cut above the typical hotel restaurant. The only issue was the breakfast buffet which was just embarrassing. Fortunately Urth Café is just across the street.
