The corridors, the room and the restaurant were all very dim. Even with every light on in the room it was too dark.
The mattress was not comfortable and needs replaced.
The front desk attendants were very nice and attentive!

Disappointing stay
Amazing staff, but room was less so. Bed was comfortable, but only had a duvet - missing sheet and blanket (belowing freezing temps). Power outlet on nightstand did not work. Shower did not drain well. Gold fixtures in bathroom were pretty discolored. Complimentary coffee in room, but tea only available by request for small fee. No room service options for breakfast.
