the location worked for me. it was close to a few places i needed to be.
Honestly, the room was quite a letdown. it was surprisingly small. plus, the bathroom showerhead seemed like it had seen better days. The water pressure was abysmal. the shower experience was not great at all.

An lovely experience..

warm doorman unlimited gratitude
Douglas, the doorman, greeted us each time with such warmth. He. Bella at check-in were really good too find me a room after my flight. I am endlessly grateful for her kindness and quick action, I was finally able to get some rest.
The breakfast queue on the first morning was unexpectedly long. It was nearly an hour wait. I hope they can find a better solution to manage the crowds.

the location was acceptable, providing convenient access to nearby attractions.
I was disappointed to find very small rooms. The bathrooms felt inadequate, especially for older guests. additionally, the minibar was empty, which i found surprising for this type of hotel. this was a real oversight.
