disappointing room size and service gaps

small roominconsistent bar

The room i received felt quite small. it was difficult to maneuver with my luggage. the bar service was also inconsistent, requiring me to ring a bell for assistance. This occurred multiple times. despite my efforts, i sometimes couldn't get any service at all, very frustrating. the waiter apologized, but it disrupted my evening plans. the breakfast selection felt quite limited, not really setting a positive tone for the day.

the staff was very friendly! the breakfast buffet offered many choices. they were topping everything and removing dishes quickly. the hotel has a convenient location to explore the city.

the doors to the rooms are unbelievably heavy. every time someone near you came out of their room, it would shake the room a little.

I loved the location! It was near the bus terminal which was super convenient for me. The breakfast included so many options, made mornings easy and delicious! The staff gave help when I needed it. The live jazz trio in the bar area on Thursday night was fantastic and added to the vibe!

My room faced the back and the window was high, it felt a bit like a sky prison.
