My stay had issues. There was a problem with the room's cleanliness. Dust collected on surfaces. i found the lack of sufficient sound insulation disruptive. Noises from adjacent rooms were audible. i noted the absence of readily available information regarding local attractions at the reception, hindering my planning.

The room I booked was not up to par. The shower pressure was weak. I also noticed some cracks in the bathroom tiles. The breakfast selection was limited one morning. I was disappointed, to say the least. I expected more variety and better quality options for a hotel of this caliber. The staff, while polite, seemed understaffed at times. Requests took longer than expected.
