thoughtful touchpoor soundproofingtemperature fluctuation
the staff offered umbrellas for guest use, a thoughtful touch.
The room lacked soundproofing. I heard every conversation in the hallway! the shower temperature fluctuated wildly. it was either scalding hot or freezing cold, and this made showering an adventure, not exactly the kind i was hoping for.

i received a welcome drink and a snack in the lovely garden. city tickets were provided at no cost. the courtyard garden seemed very well kept. a bus stop sits close to the hotel allowing for travel.
a refund for the broken toilet was promised but not delivered. this oversight slightly impacted my otherwise excellent stay.
