The reception staff were very friendly and helpful if I needed anything. The breakfast staff in the breakfast bar are the best, they were always around assisting if I needed anything. The housekeeping ladies are amazing, very friendly and accommodating of requests. They worked long hours but always kept a smile. The room was always cleaned.

Customer service was great. Free printing and scanning at the oddest of hours was a cut above the rest in meeting customer needs. Friendly and courteous staff. Good meals.
Minor suggestion. The square pin socket behind the couch in the room was unreachable but needed. Consider making the couch moveable or making the socket available elsehwere in the room (I forgot to bring an adapter so I couldn't use the round hole sockets
