Exceptional

Wonderful stay, could be better...

Liked: I loved the breakfast, spaciousness of the room, the TV channels, the location of the hotel.
Disliked: I requested for the coffee supplies to be replenished on the second day of my stay but this was not done. I also requested a change of towels and bedsheets on the third day of my stay and this was also not done. However, upon registering my complaint with the reception, a very nice lady provided me with toiletries, towels and coffee supplies. I wish this had been done earlier though.
