“What struck me most was the genuine warmth extended by the staff, particularly at the front desk and dining outlets, making each interaction feel personal and exceptionally helpful. The thoughtfulness extends to the rooms, with touches like the curated snack selections and the unique record players adding a distinct charm. It's this blend of attentive service and considered details, set against a superb location, that truly defines the stay.”
