Acceptable Stay with Definite Issues

unrefilled consumables unemptied bin
The room was clean.
I stayed three nights, and the experience declined after the first night. Consumables, such as bottled water and coffee, were NOT refilled. Towels were not replaced despite a request on the third day. Even worse, the bathroom garbage bin was not emptied, which I found UNACCEPTABLE!!!

excellent stay, great location

spacious room walk-in shower separate bathtub
our beautiful double room bath was spacious and well-kept. the bathroom included both a walk-in shower and a separate bathtub. the room's amenities included a hairdryer and ironing board. i found convenient parking near the hotel too.
the hotel lacks an elevator, so reaching upper floors with luggage proved inconvenient.
