The hotel and its staff are excellent. The facilities could not be faulted. A focus area for improvement would be around dining options. One of party has a vegetarian and gluten-free diet. The menu options between the restaurants and room service are not joined up. There were options on the room service menu that you could not get on the restaurant menu so the choice was really limiting. Also, not all staff were aware of the gluten free options available so we got different messages on different nights. A kids menu might also be worthwhile looking at. My daughter had spaghetti Bolognese but its not on a menu, we had to ask if there were any kids options available. Overall though, a great hotel, great staff, in a great location, in a great city. Would stay again for sure.
