Everything was really clean, only downside was
lack
of storage space for clothes as I like to unpack rather than living from the suitcase.

I wont give James five stars because of the rather bland hotel standard in lobby area,
lack
of swimming pool and other obvious five star markers.

I made the mistake of asking the concierge a very routine question, but it just highlighted her
lack
of knowledge of anything outside her immediate realm of comfort and her reality.

So, they are the negative things but they are still niggling me as they were so unnecessary in an expensive hotel-great customer service goes such a long way even when minimal effort is involved but
lack
-lustre service leaves a furrowed brow.

Front desk upgraded us to a junior suite right away, probably due to
lack
of 2-bed room.

A few minor gripes which had I paid full rack rate would have irked me more - scarcity of storage space in the room,
lack
of subtle bedside and wardrobe lighting, and comfortable chair/desk to use laptop easily.

Average size bath is at least bright, but nearly flat sink looks nice but difficult to use, and very shallow bath is actually dangerous with it complete
lack
of hand rails.
