The breakfast was huge. I had the best pasta dish for dinner at the restaurant. The concierge were very helpful with advice.
The air con in the room is not sufficient. The unit faces the living area, not the bed so it can be quite hot at night? The lounge itself if okay, I found it nothing lovely, just pleasant drinks and snacks. I found that a guest with two loud and disruptive children was tolerated.
