The staff provided nice and friendly service in the restaurant. The reception area and cleaning services were great as well. They provided required support with smiles and patience. I was very happy.
The extra bed we requested for our daughter was not prepared. We had to request the bed to be made again after going out for dinner. The spare pillows that were provided were very poor quality (they were very worn!). Breakfast felt limited.
