decent stay with some issues

polite staff early check-in superb view privacy concern slow service expensive wine
the staff members were polite. they were friendly and engaging. i checked in early and it was great. our room had superb views to the west of the city.
our bathroom lacked privacy. i could see into my neighbour's room. closing the blinds defeated the purpose of having a bath that overlooks the city. the restaurant service was slow.
