Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The hotel location was amazing. Everything was walking distance and it was very centralized. The property is beautiful and the staff are very helpful.
Negative: - The breakfast options - very limited. We stayed there for 3 nights and all the days, we had the same breakfast. - The room size - The size of the room for our family was too small. The room as such was very small for a Sofitel - Price - For the price we paid for the room, we expected a lot more. - Staffing - When we arrived, there wasn't any valet/concierge service to help us with the luggage. Until we asked for one.
Summary: All in all, the stay was fine.
