Room was clean and good. Bathroom was good. No problems. Fewer pillows than normal . But they fixed it quickly. Overall good stay. Please fix the breakfast buffett situation. It is far worse than the sofitel I used to remember from a decade ago.. If cost is an issue, please raise the cost as needed. Breakfast is terrible service and poor food. All else is super good.
