The team are awesome. Olga helped find parking when I arrived. Other staff, including the kitchen staff, were kind. The breakfast menu had lots of options and was excellent. I will visit again soon.

The walls seems a bit thin. Noise from other rooms was noticeable. I hope they can soundproof rooms better. A good night's sleep is important.
