the breakfast had plenty of options.
The minibar prices were rather ambitious. I would have expected complimentary water refills but sadly, that never happened. also, one of the robes had a stain on it, which i found a bit off-putting.

The staff helped pack breakfast boxes when I had an early flight. They are friendly.
The minibar selection seemed expensive, so I avoided it. I wish the hotel had included complimentary tea and coffee in all room types, I was a bit frustrated by this policy.
