Acceptable, but Underwhelming Stay
arctic air conditioning stingy minibar
The air conditioning seemed permanently set to arctic. I fiddled with the controls to no avail. the minibar only contained water and lemonade. I expect at least some crisps and a chocolate bar. A wider selection of drinks would be nice too.
the location was convenient, offering easy access to various attractions. the room was clean and well-kept. i found the staff to be very courteous and attentive, always ready to assist with any request. the great breakfast options were also a plus.
the location is amazing close to the theatre and restaurants. i found the staff at reception very friendly and helpful. the included coffee machine and complimentary drinks were a plus.
i noticed the lift and entrance smelled slightly musty.
