Breakfast is not complimentary and highly charged
Guests find it surprising that breakfast is not complimentary. They say it is also highly priced. The restaurant has limited seats as well as limited options on the menu.

No exhaust in bathrooms; no balcony
Though
guests say the bathrooms are of a high standard, they say that they need
extractor fans as the bathroom gets steamy without one. Also many guests miss a
balcony in the room.
