amazing staff luxurious decor comfortable ambiance small room noisy walls overpriced breakfast
the staff WAS amazing, always ready to assist with a genuine smile. the hotel's decor felt luxurious, it had high ceilings and Elegant details everywhere. my room, a Twin Room, had cozy ambiance, it was well-decorated and very comfortable.
i did have some minor issues . the room felt smaller then expected, it lacked ample space for luggage. i could also hear some noise from adjacent rooms, the walls were not soundproof. breakfast, while good, felt overpriced for the options Available.
