The hotel decor felt very current. The location allowed for easy walks to many places. The pool provided a spot to unwind. I found the gym worker on duty to be both friendly and helpful.
Storage space felt limited, and there wasn't a dedicated makeup desk.

mixed feelings about the experience
acceptable accessamateurish cocktaillack of supervision
the location worked and provided acceptable access.
i find the lack of attention to detail irritating. the bar did not have proper management present, resulting in a lack of supervision. the cocktail preparation seemed amateurish and lacked the expected presentation.

The hotel boasts a lovely decor and a pleasant atmosphere. Its location is convenient, with access to various attractions. The staff I encountered were warm and friendly.
The room I stayed in lacked sufficient storage. The noise from the street was noticeable, impacting the quality of sleep. I found the breakfast options to be limited (especially the fruit selection).
