warm welcomecomplimentary upgradefire alarm
the staff offered a warm welcome and were helpful throughout my stay. sarah provided assistance at check-in. she offered information and printed a gluten-free menu for the sister hotel's restaurant. i received a complimentary upgrade to a superior room facing the river and bridge.
the second night featured a fire alarm in the middle of the night. i had to evacuate and wait outside for a considerable period. this disturbed my sleep and impacted the following day.
