The breakfast was AMAZING!!! The staff walked us around, describing the different food stations. The bread selection was first class. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented.
I found the lobby VERY small. It was a case of style over substance. Check-in felt robotic. The person at check-in did not explain facilities or provide helpful info.
