the breakfast was really good.

The light switches were SO annoying! a panel near the door was tricky. I couldn't turn the lights off completely one night. reception said designers prioritized a "clean look" over guest convenience. also, i pressed the button to have my room made up but nobody came for five hours. i later discovered i had to call housekeeping, ugh.
