Wonderful hospitality!

warm greetingimmediate caregenuine kindnesscoronation chicken
The staff greeted us warmly when we arrived. The concierge immediately took care of our luggage and car parking. Every staff member I encountered displayed genuine kindness. Diane went out of her way to engage with my son, which he clearly enjoyed. The food was great, I recommend the coronation chicken roll.
The hot tub was out of order during my spa visit. I feel that some kind of acknowledgment or goodwill gesture would be in order for the inconvenience.
