mixed experience due to noise and service issues
hotel architectureloud musicinconsistent service
the hotel architecture seemed excellent.
Loud music played during dinner. It disrupted the peaceful atmosphere i expected. service felt inconsistent, with some staff appearing disengaged. a cable sat loose in the bathroom. This indicated a lack of attention to detail.
