“Disappointing and clearly making leverage of the Restaurant. Very overpriced for what was delivered.”
This is clearly a renovated hotel that was not built for what would be expected now. The bathroom was inadequate. Paid extra for a room upgrade. Would hate to see what the normal room was.

“We had a lovely time, as always.”
On check in the lovely staff member happily found us a better room for a very good rate. We contacted room service at one time and the staff were so accomodating. Nothing was a problem and their response was immediate.
