Check-in was efficient and courteous. I enjoyed several drinks at the cocktail bar. The room included a coffee machine and complimentary toiletries. Breakfast offered a superb buffet with diverse options. The omelette station was a notable addition.
The shower mixer tap had a single temperature and volume control. It was difficult to adjust to a comfortable setting without the water streaming way too fast.
