The room was very clean and a second daily check ensured we were well looked afterfor our stay. Club Millesime was largely an enjoyable experience but breakfast time was a lot busier than we expected. We arrived early and were to be told when our suite was ready but this did not happen which was a shame as we had the same thing happen the last time we stayed. Good location with lots of restaurants close by.

We were at club rm 3405, tv not in front of bed, need to Install bracket to turn around. Breakfast, service & staff at Atelier 3rd floor were bad specially the supervisor. A smile & be kind to guests is the ingredient for successful hotel. Breakfast, service, staff at the club were outstanding BUT Canapés needs lots of improvement. Cutting cost is not always good. Will never return.

Our room overlooked a new building being built which wasn’t ideal (I know it’s unavoidable but it would have been nice to be advised - the rooms aren’t cheap). The pool bar ‘bar’ was closed due to ‘bad weather(?)’ but we could ‘order like room service but there is a service charge’ (not great), very little in way of room supplies (no hot chocolate, a few tea bags), apart from one Christmas tree there was very little in way of Christmas decoration, which is such a shame, good things - the bed was super comfortable and room was nice.

On two occasions I ordered poached eggs and they took a while to arrive. They were also cold which is very disappointing. I also had to wait for coffee to be served even though the waiting staff take the order as soon as they sit you down.
