Subpar Experience, Despite Location
unwelcoming staffmanager email
The staff seemed unwelcoming. The bartender looked bothered to make drinks. Our room lacked a dresser and attempts to resolve basic inquiries were directed to email the manager. Emails were not answered. Contacting someone by phone was impossible. All communication was via email, but no response came after several attempts. Disappointing overall.

Really good Stay, Clean, Comfortable, and Centrally Located
clean accommodationscomfortable bedlarge roomattentive staff
My family appreciated the very clean accommodations. The beds proved comfortable, assuring restful sleep and I loved I did not hear any outside noises. I found the large room quite useful as well as breakfast with its selection of food. The staff was also attentive. I got extra pillows quickly.
I noticed a lack of toiletries. The shower had only a shower gel dispenser, quite disappointing.

the location was central to many attractions. room 605 offered ample space and brightness. daily amenities like water, coffee, and tea were available.
The reception was not cute at arrival. I missed a smile. my key card did not work multiple times in the lift. This was embarrassing. there were no extras like a welcome pack in the room.
