EXCELLENT staff and service

EXCELLENT! They realised during checkin that it was my son's birthday the next day and offered to upgrade our room and do a small surprise for him. When we left the next day and they did the room they left a piece of cake and a bday card. The 2nd day I went to breakfast the recwption said my wife is already inside so she recognised me. Many other details make it great and the staff make it EXCELLENT!
