Great check-in and staff very helpful overall. Less than great service at the Blu Bar on evening of Monday 16 … stood around waiting to be seated while staff walked past but said nothing. Very slow delivery for drinks in what did not seem to be a very busy bar. Smokes once delivered, however! Overall, had a lovely stay.

Only issue was the check in which was difficult, we had checked in early then came back when room was ready. A lady took us out of the que to help but then could not verify our identity??? Eventually back to the desk and the girl did it all within 30 seconds. Not sure why or how but was not a great look.
