Summary: Ordered room service very expensive burger that was burnt and even the chips were. Breakfast was better but a bit cold. The exterior of the whole place needs some maintenance. Also had trouble getting out of parking with the boom gate. Very frustrating.

Summary: Very tired but clean room. The view was excellent and the size of the room was good. Breakfast was quite basic but tasty. I approached a staff member during breakfast for a couple of extra serviettes and her response was " well you could have gotten them from over there" as she pointed to the desk at the entrance to the restaurant. To be fair I had searched everywhere else prior to asking. I advised her I would certainly do as she suggested and got them myself. She did then approach me later with some extra serviettes but to be honest I was pretty disgusted at her attitude. Both check in and check out was very quick and easy and the staff at the front desk polite and efficient.
