i found the staff to be very attentive, a real plus. the bistro food stood out, i thought the wine selection complemented it well. i spent some time in the fireside lounge, enjoying drinks in a relaxing atmosphere.

finding hooks for bath robes in the bathroom was surprisingly difficult. i also noticed the accessible mirror didn't have enough light, it made applying makeup a bit challenging.
