The doormen were kind. The reception staff were attentive. our airport pickup, arranged by the hotel, was punctual. the room included nice water pressure and was very comfortable. breakfast provided a wide variety of delicious foods!
The front desk did not answer important questions i asked upon arrival. i expected a higher level of responsiveness from management. Simple gestures were missing.
