the staff provided a map, it showed key attractions for my two-day visit. they pointed out rentable bikes throughout the city. when i had an injury, they provided ice and offered to call doctors if needed.

the room had a slight bathroom smell. i think a plumbing pipe under the sink leaked a bit. the noise from other guests sometimes disturbed my rest.

the hotel location was convenient, making it acceptable for city exploration.

the lack of clear communication regarding dining options was troubling. i arrived late to find the restaurant closed without prior notice. furthermore, the extra charge for my small dog felt excessive and unjustified.
