The hotel is very well situated for dining and shopping options. The room was large and fairly clean. There was no kettle or tea/coffee making facilities in the room but there was coffee, hot and cold water available in the dining area next to reception. It would have been helpful to have been informed about this during check-in. The receptionist when we checked in was not very helpful. However, the receptionist, when we checked out, was very helpful. He helped us with our bags and tried very hard to answer our questions. We only stayed one night and did not have breakfast since we had to go to the airport early in the morning.
