The staff displayed very nice attentiveness. Ria Anne provided a warm welcome. Her helpfulness continued throughout my stay. Housekeeping maintained high standards. I found all staff amazing including the doormen, concierges, and reception personnel.
The breakfast area was located next to the kitchen. This placement. The setting detracted somewhat from the overall dining experience. I would have preferred a more secluded seating arrangement.
