The breakfast was excellent and it was very nice to be able to order and get it served to our table instead of a buffet style breakfast.
The food in the restaurant was also very good.
The staff were all very hepful. Upgrade the glass in the front facing Windows to reduce the amount of noise coming from the passing traffic.
Insulate the toilet door as it rattles when the wind blows from the draft coming from the toilet skylight window. (Room 232)
