friendly staff restaurant food lacking lobby laundry service

the staff was friendly and on HAND for my requests. the food at the restaurant downstairs was also enjoyable.

i found the facilities disappointing for a four star hotel. there was NO lobby where i could relax after sightseeing. also, the lack of laundry service was inconvenient.

Decent Stay with Some Disappointments

small room limited breakfast

My stay wasn't terrible, but it wasn't really good either. The room I had was quite small. There was very little space to move around. I also found the breakfast options limited, I expected more variety... I likely will not return.
