Upon arrival it was beautiful. The hotel is lovely and a real treat. However, the hotel forgot to deliver our wine which should have been there on arrival, the bathroom was dusty and dirty which they came back and cleaned once we were in, the wedges from room service were yum, however the pizza was awlful and we returned it to the kitchen after just one piece. The gym area was dirty also. Breakfast was delicious and the beds were comfortable.

Perfect location to base ourselves in the city with an early morning flight at checkout (very quick walk to the Skybus terminal). Room was clean and nice amenities.
