Acceptable stay, some minor drawbacks

swimming pool soft beds breakfast buffet excellent quality high-class service warm service beautiful room small room upgrade request quick no empty suite available suite
My stay included access to a swimming pool. Soft beds were also available there. I dined at Season restaurant, experiencing a high-class and warm service. The breakfast buffet had excellent quality bread.
The beautiful room felt a little small. I was refused an upgrade request, despite my status. I was told nothing was available, and I saw that the suite next door was empty.

Really good Stay at a Landmark!

historic structure convenient features attentive service lovely spa
The building has a beautifully designed historic structure. My room included convenient features. Staff provided attentive service when needed. The spa was lovely and I will definitely return for treatments.
The tonic came from a plastic bottle. It did not quite fit the luxury image. I would prefer my tonic out of its own bottle so I can dictate the amount poured.
