Mixed Feelings About My Stay

broken televisionstreet noise
My stay had some notable downsides. I encountered issues with the room's functionality. The television did not work consistently , and I had to call maintenance twice. the noise from the street was louder than I anticipated, particularly during the early morning hours. I found this disruptive despite the soundproofing measures.

the location was pretty central to everything, i guess.
The 'beautiful double room' i booked turned out to be not so beautiful, at least to me. the shower drainage was very slow. Water pooled around my ankles with every shower. also, i was expecting a coffee machine, and its absence seemed like a missed detail for a place charging these prices.

The decor reminded me of a warm embrace, a gentle reminder of beauty in every corner. our room had complimentary soft drinks in the mini bar, a sweet surprise. the staff's attentiveness was amazing. They anticipated our needs with such grace. breakfast was a delight with many choices on the menu and attentive service.
the elevator was a bit slow at peak times (i could use the stairs but).
