a decent stay
attentive staffdelicious breakfastpaper napkinmissing water
the room was spacious and clean. it was a superior double room sea view. the staff were attentive throughout the hotel, and this was appreciated. the breakfast was made to order and tasted delicious.
the room lacked complimentary water, which i would expect. the room also had paper napkins in the restaurant. i felt they were cutting corners to save money. there was no champagne by the glass or dessert wines on offer.
