We had a lovely 4 days rooms and bedding of the highest quality. Staff were always attentive and helpful. Love the coffee machines on each floor. Only demerit was that the coffee at breakfast was not to same high European coffee standard in the rooms. If you love coffee take your own to the restaurant.,

The water in the shower was cold. You would have to turn on the shower and wait at least 15-20 minutes before you get a lukewarm shower, forget about even that in the early morning. They also offer a $25 credit for skipping housekeeping one day of your visit. I have yet to see that! The restaurant was pretty good for breakfast but expensive. The coffee shop charged $12 for an iced tea. The location was exceptional. Very easy to get around from the location.
