Breakfast options were limited. Small buffet area felt cramped and line was long. Fruit selection was poor. Needs to update bath towels, old and thin.

Overall great stay the only thing I would say could improve is to have several bottles of water available in the room. 3-4 bottles of water. It’s an inexpensive way to add value and comfort

Nice hotel. Wouldn’t stay again. But it was nice. The restaurants and the bar on first floor are very elegant. The 3rd floor rooftop pool wraps around the building which is pretty cool.
