Adequate Stay in a Good Location

convenient access helpful staff clean room small room street noise limited selection

The hotel's location proved advantageous. It allowed convenient access to nearby shops and restaurants. The staff members I interacted with were generally helpful and polite. The room was also clean upon arrival.

The room size was smaller than I anticipated. The soundproofing was inadequate. Street noise was quite audible. The breakfast options seemed limited, lacking variety in the selection.

the reservations team is attentive and responsive. they are genuinely committed to meeting guests' needs. i appreciate the staff stability because it feels like coming home. irene and her restaurant team are thoughtful and discreet, taking time to connect with each guest individually.

the room was smaller than what i thought i booked and the images were a bit misleading. i paid ahead of my arrival and in my opinion this isn't good practice.
