We were surprised to see the size of the rooms that were a part of our suite. It had more than enough storage space for our clothes and other items we brought with us. Any time we asked about something, the staff was more than happy to oblige with a smile on their face. We ate breakfast at the hotel each day, and the star employee was Hadia. She always had a smile and was such a joy in the morning, we looked forward to seeing her every day because she couldn't do enough for you. You want a cappuccino cup, but filled with Americano? No problem. You don't see the juice you want on the table, she would check to see if there was any available. She is very good at her job (as are all your people).
We also enjoyed being able to meet Chef Martin. We had someone in our party who must eat gluten free and he came out of the kitchen and discussed options with her, and in the end it worked out very well. We thought his creativity was remarkable and were especially impressed with his strawberry-rhubarb compote with vanilla ice cream for desert. It was well executed. The dining room manager was also very attentive and helpful, not only for his guidance on the food menu, but his additional guidance on visiting other cities.
If we had to point out any negatives, I would say that the shower was a bit finicky when i came to setting the temperature. It would be very cold at first and we would turn the know further to hot and it came out so hot it was almost scalding. It took a while each day to mover the knob in tiny increments so we were neither burned nor subjected to very cold water. There were some inconsistencies in servicing the room, mostly related to the in-room coffee maker. Some days only two creamers were left, and we preferred to each have two per person. We also found that on a couple of days our dirty coffee cups were not collected and replaced with clean ones. My wife found the rooms too hot which made it difficult for her to sleep, even when we turned the A/C on. I found the room very comfortable, but that is the way it is at home. She's too hot, and I'm fine (or even cold).
I would say if that's all we had to complain about, we had an exceptional stay!
Thanks so much for your find hospitality!
