the room had special touches like proper milk and lovely tea.. the bed featured very comfortable, white crisp sheets. complimentary breakfast, prepared by the chef, arrived with a lovely smile each morning. parking was both easy and efficient, a big plus for us.
The strong smell of air freshener in the room was overwhelming. I could actually taste it. i tried to find it to remove it but was not successful.
