Lovely Stay!

clean decorhelpful staff memberspersonalized breakfastslow amenities
The hotel had very clean and well kept decor. The staff members were friendly and helpful. The breakfast included with my stay was especially nice. It felt very personalized, not like a generic buffet.
I had to call multiple times to get amenities delivered to my room. This was inconvenient as I expected them to be readily available. I also found it quite frustrating because it took time from my vacation.

Mixed experience

central locationbroken air conditioning
The location was very central to everything I wanted to see.
The air conditioning in my Beautiful Double Room didn't work properly (it was quite warm) so the sleep quality suffered. I had to ask repeatedly for it to be looked at, annoying. It was never really resolved.
