a good stay

large roomcomfy bedcentral locationmissing item
the room was lovely and large. a comfy bed provided sweet dreams. they had nice extras like dressing gowns AND slippers, a delicate touch. the location is central.
during my stay, i noticed there were missing basic items, such as hair conditioner in the bathroom, which i think is a little oversight for this category of hotel.
