The room had comfortable beds. It was a highlight (as I was quite tired). The Nespresso machine was a lovely touch. The cleaners stocked the bathrooms with amenities.
The check-in receptionist had an inflexible attitude. She was also condescending. The receptionist didn't share information about electric vehicle charging (a significant oversight).
