Excellent Service and Convenient Location

professional service room service tasty food
The breakfast service was really good. Thuso's kindness and professional service stood out. I found him very helpful with room service too. The food was plentiful (and tasty).
It took about two hours to sort it out. I arrived quite late, so this delay was frustrating.
