lovely room decor good food hotel decor poor reception blunt receptionist missing welcome
The brassiere offered good food! I appreciated the lovely room decor, especially the bathrooms. Decor throughout the main areas of the hotel looked very nice too.
The reception cute upon arrival was unfortunately poor. The receptionist was so blunt, it verged on being rude! I went to reception five times to help find my room because I could not find the way.

Acceptable Stay with Some Shortcomings
slow clearing high temperature
The lack of daily room service was a letdown (a detail i find crucial). I did not expect this at all. the breakfast service could use improvement. Staff did not seem friendly, and clearing used dishes was slow. The ventilation system was set too high. I could not adjust the temperature.
