excellent breakfast convenient location comfortable bed unhelpful receptionist no room service payment issue
The breakfast was excellent , and it had many options. The location was very convenient , near the train station. I received a complimentary chocolate in my room. The bed was huge and very comfortable.
The check-in receptionist was not very helpful. I asked about room service , and I was told they do not do room service for drinks. My husband tried to arrange a surprise drink for Mother's Day , but he was told they had no way to take payment. I was later told this was incorrect .
