**Best Feature** - the breakfast is better than any hotel I've been to.
Items: egg/cheese omelette, hard boiled as well, sausages, cereal, fresh yogurt, bread, muffins, pastries, bagels, fresh oatmeal.*Baby waffles* AND regular size waffles. The baby waffles are ridiculously good. The staff really stayed on top of restocking the food and keeping it fresh. Really outstanding breakfast and breakfast staff.
CONS:
Small pool
Faulty Equipment
I only had two bad experiences during my stay (hence they are missing a star). First was the elevator door safety sensor is bad. It closed on my arm. The door's weight in addition to the door closing tight, pinned my arm, as a result, I had to aggressively pull my arm out. I didn't want to create a problem, however, my arm is swollen and I have my nerves acting up from my wrist to my fingers (still 35 hours later). Hopefully this goes away. My main concern is how dangerous this is for anyone, especially small children.
The second experience I had was with a staff member. When I called from my room to ask two simple questions, they were short with me and sounded annoyed. This same person did not see me approaching, however I over heard them saying on the phone: "yeah, I can't wait to get out of this piece of sh*t". Quickly lowering their volume once they saw me in sight.
I get sometimes jobs suck, and I have empathy for the person but don't say it in front of your guests (behind closed doors is a different story) and certainly don't let it be a reflection of your service to others.
Closing Note: Carlos was super friendly and he even provided me with a band-aid when I needed it.
