"Very big family room. Clean. Modern furniture. Outstanding views. Breakfast was excellent (possibly best fresh fruit collection I've seen at a hotel for a long time). Staff were friendly and helpful. The only minor gripe was the wifi in the room was poor. However not a big issue which could easily be solved with a wifi extender. Will look forward to returning."
