Great location, staff is friendly and helpful (not at the bar though...we went to claim our complimentary glass of bubbly and even before he knew we were just "scrounging" the waiter was a lifeless, smileless, speechless d*ck). We stayed in a 2-level suite and although spacious and clean, the furniture and room overall surely could've used a facelift. There's elegant... More
