Satisfactory Hotel Experience

room decorationbeautiful viewshelpful staffsmall roomenclosed feelinglimited hangers

The room decoration was beautiful. I found it excellent. The spa area offered lovely views. The scenery was gorgeous. The staff members were genuinely helpful. I observed their friendly behavior.

The room felt quite small, I didn't like that aspect. Windows facing the courtyard. Privacy felt compromised. Only two hangers were available in the wardrobe. It was not sufficient.
