Handy Utilities, Helpful Staff

helpful staffperfect locationrattling noise
The staff were accommodating and lovely. The hotel location is perfect. The utilities in the room proved VERY helpful, particularly the hair straighteners. Room service was delicious and convenient.
The air conditioning made a rattling noise. This was unexpected in a hotel WITH five stars. I hope they consider someone monitoring the pool area. One family with ten children created havoc, disturbing when you try to relax.

the room was clean though nothing especially fancy, so i guess that was alright.
The check-in process was a bit of a mess. They insisted breakfast wasn't included. i had to argue about it and show all sorts of paperwork. also, they charged extra for decent coffee at breakfast. Seriously, who charges extra for coffee at a hotel breakfast?
