The room key was somewhat temperamental. It occasionally required multiple attempts to unlock the door. i found this a minor inconvenience, but it was manageable.

The staff was friendly and helpful with directions to nearby attractions.
I had issues with the room's temperature control. It was difficult to regulate and remained too warm. the bathroom lacked sufficient ventilation. This led to a buildup of moisture after showering and caused the mirror to fog up for an extended period (.. ) I found it quite inconvenient.
