The room upgrade was nice. It gave us more space than expected. the staff seemed quite attentive, always ready to assist. the hotel's proximity to transportation options, like train stations, was also a plus.
the bellman was slow to deliver luggage after i checked in. i had to retrieve it myself from the luggage room. some areas of the room seemed like they needed updating, like stained carpets and walls.
