A rather UNIMPRESSIVE stay

stale pastries undertrained staff

The breakfast was REALLY disappointing. I expected much more from a hotel that claims such high standards. Some days, the pastries were stale. Other days, the hot food was lukewarm. This made starting the day off on the wrong foot. The staff also seemed undertrained at times, with slow service and some difficulty answering simple questions.
