"While the staff was wonderful and helpful, there were some issue with the room. The bed was very uncomfortable as the “mattress” was extremely thin and therefore made it uncomfortable to sleep on. Additionally, the house keeping did not restock items in the room, such as creamer, etc, which didn’t allow me to enjoy the terrace with a cup of tea or coffee in the morning."
