mixed feelings about this hotel.

uninspiring viewsroom service delay
my experience was not entirely satisfactory. the room overlooked an unpleasant back area, it had uninspiring views. additionally, the housekeeping lacked consistency, and some days i found the bathroom not properly cleaned. i also noted a significant delay one morning when i requested a simple room service, it took more than an hour to arrive.
