I had emailed ahead of time asking for balloons to be left in my room for my girlfriend as the trip was a surprise birthday present. The hotel had decorated the room, left out balloons, chocolates and included a birthday card with a complimentary drink token. It was such a nice touch and much better than I expected. The staff really were amazing made the weekend away that bit more special.
