comfy beds helpful staff
The family room had a good setup with a separate area. The decor in the rooms is excellent.. I loved the comfy beds. The staff were very helpful and accommodating.
The bathroom was a bit small in our family room.

few hangers absent fridge
the breakfast was acceptable, even though it started quite late.
The room lacked practical amenities. I only found four coat hangers and no drawers. the absence of a fridge was also frustrating. Milk went bad quickly. a member of staff didn't ask about my stay or offer assistance (i found this quite strange).
