Overall it was a comfortable stay safe for the coffee issue during breakfast.
Pros:

East to access. Clean and very comfortable.

Cons:

During breakfast, the waiter does not automatically approach you with coffee. You have to wait for them to come and if you don’t call them, they won’t approach. Which was annoying to me. There aren’t many waiters in the floor to begin with. On our last morning there, my husband had to go search for a waiter to fetch us coffee. There isn’t any coffee station for me to access myself during breakfast.

Almost perfect
Pros:

Everything. Great security. Great front desk services.

Cons:

The services during breakfast are lacking one feels like is disturbing the staff. They smile at you but do not come to you. In both days I had to get up from my table to find coffee and on Sunday I waited 40 mi for it to come in fact I had to ask again.

Top notch stay
Pros:

Breakfast 👌 👏 it's a 10/10 I have no words to describe it, but catered and inclusive for everyone. Comfort out of this word 10/10

Cons:

Nothing, my heart was full.
Maybe what give more comfort or alter is the space, but above everything all was top deck.
