10/10 Excellent
"The stay was overall very pleasant. The staff at the front desk and restaurant were friendly and helpful. Room service response time can be improved but I’m giving them the benefit of doubt due to possible short staffing. The day cleaners did a very average job during our stay, taking all our towels but forget to provide new ones. They also left a bag of recyclable rubbish at our door when we return from our day trip. The most memorable aspect of our stay would be the amazing view from their restaurant deck and"
