wonderful panoramic suite experience

fine viewfriendly staffbreakfast selection
i was upgraded to a panoramic suite. this offered a fine view and much more space. the staff were friendly and accommodating, assisting promptly with all requests.
the breakfast selection could use more variety, with better rotation of items. i stayed for a week and more options would have enhanced the experience.
