The design and interior decoration was outstanding. There was confusion regarding an extra breakfast charge which I was told would be waived and was not; a request for late check out was offered but declined; the hotel is not as centrally located as indicated on the web page offering. The stay was comfortable and facilities very clean.
Room layout and decoration was excellent
