The hotel reception area was very nice. When we got to our room initially looked well done. We had 2 water glasses for 4 people, 1 of which had many fingerprints and we chose not to use glass. 2 late to get replacements. The curtains did not close properly so lots of light in the morning. Construction right under our windows. I need darkness to sleep. On the other hand breakfast was great..
