a somewhat dim experience

dim lighting brown decor
the staff seemed nice enough , i will say.
The lighting in the room was dim , like they were trying to save on the electric bill or something. it was really hard to read , so i just gave up. also , the decor was overwhelmingly brown . It reminded me of i was staying inside a chocolate bar , and not in a good way.

excellent service great decor curated drinks dim lighting dark walls small window
the staff provided excellent service they catered to all needs. the hotel decor and vibe was great. the hotel has a good selection of drinks and really good food.
the room lighting was dim i had to use my phone's torch. the dark walls and furnishings combined with minimal lighting and a small window made the room quite dark. the bathroom also suffered from this lack of light.
