great selection high-quality options bathroom design wear tear

the breakfast offered a great selection and high-quality options, i found that to be a proper start to the day. the staff was genuinely helpful and accommodating, from check-in to checkout! i especially appreciated their assistance with securely storing some vintage wines i purchased.

The bathroom design was stylish, but the doors to the shower and bathroom area did not offer the privacy i desired. i also noticed that the hotel could improve its maintenance. Some finishes had wear and tear, which i wouldn't expect.

attentive breakfast team dark bathroom lighting

the staff was very attentive , especially the breakfast team. They made sure everything was to my liking.

the lighting in the bathroom was REALLY dark. the sink area was quite small , , made organizing toiletries difficult. little privacy existed between the bedroom and the bathroom , which was not ideal.
