location good, some downsides present

locked thermostat no window opening

The location was acceptable. I could walk to a few places easily.

the room was too warm, and i could not adjust the thermostat. a locked thermostat is not helpful during warmer months. i would have liked to open a window, but that was not possible either.

mixed feelings about my stay

cramped room limited view

the room size was smaller than i expected i had booked a room advertised as quite spacious however it felt cramped with limited space to move around comfortably the lack of storage options also made it difficult to keep our belongings organized and the small window offered only a limited view despite being advertised with a view it impacted the overall comfort of our stay the promised spaciousness and good view did not materialize which left me disappointed

modern and clean with great room facilities

comfortable bed evening drinks

i was able to drop off my bags early and leave them when i checked out so i didn't have to drag them around. the room was really efficient and well put together the bed was very comfortable. the evening drinks were a nice time to sit down in the lobby and enjoy a glass of wine.

the thermostat was locked on 24 i also couldn't crack open a window. we had pretty warm temperatures during our trip in early may so this probably would have been a comfortable setting on colder nights. i understand the need to be more efficient.
