Acceptable Stay with a Few Drawbacks

stressed staff expensive drinks

The reception staff seemed stressed during the mornings. They weren't always helpful with minor issues. The restaurant had some odd rules. I couldn't order breakfast separately and eat it in the lounge. eating in the room was allowed. Some services and drinks, such as tea and coffee, were expensive for a hotel that considers itself five stars.
