Wonderful the best in every respect
Pros:

Faultless in every aspect, an expensive hotel but worth every penny. Every detail was managed through with courtesy and respect, room service was superb three times a dat to replace towels, leave chocolates, replace bottles of water, drawing curtains in fact everything to make our stay nice. Breakfast staff nothing was to much trouble again perfect, reception staff friendly and efficient. I started saying it was perfect and that’s how I will leave it.
