the room was a bit small. i booked a beautiful double room, yet it felt more like a standard single. also, the breakfast buffet options seemed limited for such a pricey hotel. i was expecting more variety, especially in the pastry selection. the croissants tasted stale, the fruit was not fresh.

The service could have been better for what you pay. i asked for a newspaper, it arrived late and without the magazine insert. breakfast felt rushed, my cooked food was cold. i did not get a second cup of coffee. A bit of a let down.
