excellent experience

beautiful building birthday chocolates
the hotel building itself is beautiful. our room included comfortable space. bags were taken to our room for us upon arrival. we also found birthday chocolates, a nice detail.
there was a bit of material peeling off the headboard. the bathroom also had a sharp bit of metal on the side of the bath. neither of these issues ruined my stay.

Acceptable but flawed stay

uncomfortable bed random housekeeping
The building was fine.
The bed proved uncomfortable, it seemed twins pushed together. A humming noise occurred intermittently. I found housekeeping visited at random times suggesting understaffing.
