We stayed three nights including breakfast. The room was clean and comfortable. Provided tea and coffee bar in room. The bathroom amenities were lovely. Took advantage of the fitness area - used the pool, steamroom and sauna. Heavenly after a long day exploring. They provided towels and the area was very well kept. Breakfast was great - lots of choices and friendly staff. Entertainment in the evening was a nice way to end the day.
