The staff were fantastic.
Friendly, helpful, enthusiastic, attentive, professional.
Specifically, Ewa on the front desk and Robert in the buffet breakfast area - they consistently addressed guest needs in a way that made it clear they wanted each guest to have the best possible stay.
I will absolutely return to this hotel the next time I am in the area.
