a good escape

polite staffamazing servicevaried selection
the staff was amazing, particularly the bloke who cleaned room 113, he helped me when i locked myself out. he was always polite. batman from dubai had interesting champagne knowledge. the breakfast staff were helpful, they escorted me to my table.
The hanging space in the open closet proved minuscule for longer garments and also contained the ironing board. This really made it even smaller.
