efficient valet parking well appointed room range of food stressful check in missing orange juice repetitive breakfast
The valet parking here was SO efficient. I found the room VERY well appointed. Breakfast offered a vast range of food options, including an omelette chef who provided a good choice of ingredients.
The check in process WAS a little stressful since the music in the bar area was loud. It was hard to hear or converse with the staff. The orange juice NEVER arrived one morning.
