I found the breakfast choices very good. I enjoyed the variety offered each morning. The room itself felt spacious. It included amazing views of the city from the windows.

The customer service team could improve their responsiveness. I feel they could have been more proactive with requests. It took about 30 minutes for them to resolve it on their end.
