mixed feelings about the stay

small roomstreet noise
The room was small, i mean really small. it felt more like a closet than a proper room. also, the noise from the street kept me up most of the night. People yelling and cars driving by? not exactly a relaxing stay. we loved the pool. but the view was amazing!

Charmed by my stay

separate sitting areabeautiful city viewhelpful staff
The suite was amazing and offered a separate sitting area from the bedroom. This worked very well as i could stay up later without disturbing my partner. I had beautiful city view and liked the lake view from the sitting room balcony. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful.
I did notice the lighting could have been a bit better for reading in bed, i only seen bedside table lamps.
