I loved how accommodating and professional the staff were. An issue arose with our room, which they solved within minutes. This allowed me to concentrate on work and get on with things. Further, my husband needed help solving what could have been an issue with a rental car and the concierge and greeting staff (bellboy just sounds wrong) were quick to help. The bathrooms were spacious and had lovely towel heaters, an adapter at the desk outlet and sufficient space for laptop, iPad and documents on the desk. Finally, the windows were excellent at keeping noise out, the air conditioner responsive and the bed spacious. All in all a very comfortable stay.
