Pros:

​The stay was disappointing for a few key reasons. First, we suffered with the parking; it was a major struggle and very inconvenient. Second, the room was poorly furnished as there were no chairs to sit on. Finally, there was a persistent smell of cigarettes in the room. I want to clarify that the room was actually clean, so it isn't a fault of the cleaning staff, but the lingering smell made the environment unpleasant. For a "Luxury Suite," these issues really let the experience down

Below Expectation Experience
Pros:

The staff were friendly.

Cons:

The breakfast was not good.

The TV channels were unavailable and reception did not respond to calls on both the bookong line and the reception phone numbers.

Too many tripping hazards on your way to the loo, from the bed.
