friendly staffmediocre coffee machinebizarre lift system
the super friendly staff was acceptable, i suppose.
The coffee situation was a disaster. The mediocre coffee machine barely managed to produce anything resembling coffee at all. it was utterly rubbish! to add insult to injury, the lift system was bizarre, requiring me to pre-order a lift to any designated floor. it slowed everyone down so much.

the staff showed genuine care and were so thoughtful. i was touched by their willingness to help and offer suggestions. the room was clean, spacious, and beautifully designed. housekeeping did a wonderful job each day. it felt amazing returning to such a pristine space. the big bottles of water in the fridge were very much appreciated.
the elevator system felt a bit unusual. you have to pre-order your lift to a designated floor. this slowed things down a little.
