helpful staffdetailed explanationoffensive smelllittle light
the breakfast experience included chefs rob and james, they were happy to chat with us. liv gave us a detailed explanation of where everything was located. charlie helped us with the coffee machine and offered to bring our coffees to our table. these small details enhanced the stay.
the price felt excessive considering the standard of service. the first room allocated had an offensive smell. the second room faced an indoor atrium, so there was little natural light and it felt too warm even with the air conditioning on max.
