helpful stafffresh fruit
The front desk staff was efficient I had no issues with check-in or check-out. My room featured two complimentary bottles of water and fresh fruit daily I found this a thoughtful addition. Breakfast offered many choices it satisfied me. Staff in the restaurant actively suggested local dishes I enjoyed this unexpected service.
The room had less natural light than I expected it to have.

Mixed Experience, Some Issues Noted

unexpected feestrong smell
I encountered a problem with unexpected charges. They charged a 5% fee for card payment and they did not mention it beforehand. The room felt somewhat dated. There was also a noticeable smell of strong cleaning products in the corridors and it bothered me a little.
