unavailable dishescool steak
The dinner I had was disappointing. The main course meat dishes were mostly unavailable. I chose the "chateaubriand" with a surcharge, though the plates were warm and became cold quickly. The steak was cool, and the dessert was over-microwaved. On checkout, I refused to pay the parking fee because there was no sign of the "complimentary glass of champagne" promised.

underwhelming experience

decent breakfastcramped bathroomslow service
the breakfast was decent enough, with a reasonable variety of options.
my 'beautiful room' felt more like a standard shoebox. the bathroom was so cramped the towel rail practically sat in the sink. the shower controls being miles away from the showerhead was a comedy of errors. the slow service at the bistro made dinner drag on forever.
