The proximity to various attractions made sightseeing effortless. I found the staff attentive (which I always appreciate). The breakfast had many options to choose from.
The outdated furniture in the room was somewhat disappointing. The squeaky furniture was distracting. I hope they renovate soon.

Service

Staff members are always ready to assist with any requests or inquiries. Concierge services are available to help with tour bookings and travel arrangements. Room service is prompt and efficient (the tea was always hot!).
the complimentary breakfast was smashing with ample choice for every taste. the ambience of the hotel is very pleasing and has a little bit for everyone. the in house restaurant was very mood setting, food was AMAZING!!! and service was prompt and to the point.
the intercom in the room did not work and had to be fixed after we checked in. i would expect a hotel charging a lot for a standard room to have a parking facility. i did not expect my car to be parked on the road and that too away from the hotel at some unknown location.
