The staff was very friendly, and breakfast offered plenty of choice and quality produce! my wife has allergies, so they were very attentive and checked at every meal. the bartender made us our favourite cocktails, after we mentioned we like vodka based cocktails. It saved the day!
the cocktail menu had a focus on gin! i would like to see a few of the staple classics on the menu.
