The staff was helpful arranging transport. This was acceptable.
The hotel advertised itself as five stars but did not meet those expectations. Room service made mistakes and i did not receive requested items. housekeeping was not consistent. I found that instant coffee was available instead of real coffee. overall, i found the service lacking the standards i expect.
