the location was good.
the room lacked expected amenities. it was disappointing to find no dressing gowns or shower caps, which i anticipate in a hotel of this level. i asked for more water, but staff said it was only for arrival and suggested i use tap water.

The room felt dated. the bathroom was like a hospital bathroom. they didn't supply hand soap. Only body lotion was provided, what a joke. i'm really frustrated by this.
