The reception area had new decorations. The receptionists were helpful. Cleaners checked daily if rooms needed service. The food was the best I have had in many hotel stays. The waitress corrected us about dinner timings, we misread the board, and arrived at 7.

I noticed some minor wear in the corridor. Parking was limited. It was sometimes difficult to find a spot.
