the room was good. the shower and bed were acceptable.
the reception area felt unclear. staff ignored me when i arrived with bags. the water station on my floor did not work. i did not get advised on this.
the room was quite spacious and well-appointed. it included two queen beds (perfect for my needs). the guest services manager, leena, was very helpful. she provided restaurant recommendations (i went to founder's arms).
security seemed a concern. i misplaced an item in a public area. i did not notice effort to check security cameras. the breakfast quality was not great and the service was slow (i expected better).
