a romantic getaway

swanky designrestaurant bonusbuilding separationfriendly staff
I adored the overall design of the hotel. It felt very swanky. the restaurant and bar were a big added bonus. there was lovely building separation between the "party" side and the "residence" side. I could find quiet when i needed it. the staff were super accommodating and friendly!!!
I noticed the carpet was not vacuumed completely after previous guests. I thought it could've been a tad cleaner.

The hotel location was convenient. It provided easy access to nearby attractions.
The room heating system seemed to be centrally controlled. I could not adjust it. This made the room uncomfortably warm at night. I had expected more individual control over the temperature.
