Great Hotel, in a great place

As always our stay was brilliant. This is now the 4th time I have stayed at this hotel. The only thing I would like to see and this is a personal choice is a few more bread options for breakfast, like bagels for example (even more so when there is a big sporting event like the marathon weekend or half marathon weekend). Apart from that, everything was spot on as always.
