The service I received felt attentive. The staff provided assistance with luggage efficiently. The New York Bar offered relaxing moments with helpful bartenders. The hotel location behind the Palace offered tranquility. Attention was given to small details. Turn-down service felt comforting after long days. Breakfast options are comprehensive. French toast tasted gorgeous. I enjoyed salmon pastries.

The staff showed me the dining spaces and bar. John shared his knowledge about the palace.
I experienced issues with the air conditioning unit. It was noisy and gurgled frequently despite been switched off, which I found unacceptable.
