Pros +

  • Different size bottles for the shower soaps. Towels thick and absorbent. Bed duvet great. Liked having two chairs and excellent reading lamps.
  • Cleaning services, friendliness of front of house, location
  • friendly and helpful front desk and valet staff

Cons -

  • Took long to reach the desired room temperature.
  • Tea and coffee could be improved. Choice of tea was pretty poor - at least one 'normal black tea' would be nice.
  • cleaning crew were yelling in the hallways before 10AM - given we had a late night, this was extremely frustrating

Front desk staff were exceptionally kind and courteous all day/night long. Nice touches by housekeeping such as specially folded towels. Complimentary water dispenser and cups. Close to train.
Would like doorknob DND to let housekeeping know the room was occupied; also expected a small binder/book or laminated sheet detailing hotel information (check-in/out, number to reach front desk, etc) and recommendations of nearby restaurants/attractions.
