The restaurant was really nice for dinner and the view is great. The carpet in the room had a ton of stains, they never came to service the room. We ordered the room service breakfast and it was terrible. Eggs not cooked, coffee press didn’t have a filter so the coffee granules were in the coffee. One slice of bacon for two people and very expensive.

The accessible room is not suitable for a disabled person in a wheelchair- just a few tweaks to the bathroom would make such a difference eg a raised toilet with drop down bars and a walk in shower.
