The shower arrangement. for a 5 star I would of expected a separate shower and not a ugly shower curtain over bath. The level of security entering and exiting premises was a surprise. Delayed the incoming traffic early evening
Great encompassing attitude from staff. The conference facilities and staff were very accommodating and patient with our requests for changes and equipment.Never had supper in hotel, so can not comment. The breakfast was very good
