helpful staff consistent cleanliness missing edging zero apology
The hotel boasts a modern industrial design that I found very appealing. Staff were GREAT and helpful at all times. Breakfast was certainly good too. Cleanliness was consistent throughout the hotel.
The shower lacked any edging. This resulted in the bathroom floor becoming soaked after each shower. I had to ask for a squeegee to manage the water myself. There was no explanation of this issue. There was zero apology whatsoever.
