U loved the staff they were very friendly and accommodating. What didn’t like is we had to order room service for lunch and dinner or we had to go out to find food. The breakfast that was provided was good. I didn’t understand why they could do the same for lunch and dinner.

This is not a 5 star property. Older property and service was quite bad. Room didn't have body creams and other basic things one would expect in a 5 star property. I was trying to get them to fill the shower gel throughout my trip and they kept bringing shampoo bottles few hours later when I wasn't in the room. I ended up with 4 shampoo bottles and no shower gel for my entire trip. Concierge suggested a spanish restaurant (supposedly best in town), which actually ended up being Italian. Location is good in the middle of town.
