only weakness i would comment on is the breakfast

the wifi was great and the connectivity was strong

wine/coffee bar downstairs was out of service for any type of espresso drink, so that was disappointing

the coffee and wine bar is lovely and the restaurant very elegant

no information on speakeasy bar or its location in hotel that sounded like fun

room service menu for my second night was missing and front desk sent me on a wild chase to find

r 2 people for 2 nights), requested more and they told us they were out and had to wait for laundry collection

it took like over an hour for an order of kids sliders and chips & salsa
