The valet service staff impressed me greatly with their efficiency. They seemed a bit rushed when leaving the car park. The receptionists were excellent. I appreciated their attentiveness and professional service.
The air conditioning in my room did not function properly. It made loud noises. I informed reception, and someone said they would control it remotely to lower the temperature. It never worked and I had an unpleasant night.
