solid suite stay

comfortable bedfresh milknice sofaluggage assistance
i stayed in a roseate prime suite it was quite spacious the sofa was nice there was also a large tv i appreciated the coffee maker along with the fresh milk the bed was comfortable i found the bathroom to be spacious. i used the hotel bar and enjoyed lovely cocktails the room service menu was limited the prices seemed reasonable the food arrived promptly and was presented nicely. i would stay again for the suite alone and perhaps explore more of the amenities.
i think the hotel could use some work regarding luggage assistance i didn't see anyone available to help with bags upon arrival i also didn't see anyone to greet guests as they entered this could be an area for improvement .
