A very satisfying stay in a wonderful City.
Pros:

The staff were of a high standard. My room was perfect with excellent facilities and room service. Breakfast was superb,again with excellent service.
All in all my stay was most enjoyable.

Cons:

The only thing that let it down was the haphazard presentation of the plastic plants and foliage which i found disappointing.
