comfortable bedbathroom facilitieshotel locationbreakfast choicelimited choicestorage possibility
The hotel's location proved excellent for travel to the waterfront area. The room included a supremely comfortable bed. The shower and bathroom facilities were also excellent.
The breakfast choices had limited possibilities. The quality was good. more variety would be valuable for the price. There were not many possibilities for storing clothes in the room.

They were always ready to assist with a smile and helpful tips. the room was super clean and stylish. the location is perfect, right in the heart of the city, steps from many attractions and restaurants. i especially liked the bed. It was comfortable offering me a restful night.
The air conditioning was a bit too cold. It was difficult to adjust it to a warmer setting. This.

somewhat underwhelming stay

pitiful water pressureunclear thermostat
The room was okay. the shower's water pressure was like a budget desert hotel, can you believe it? and don't even get me started on the thermostat. I had no clue how to get it to cool properly.. seriously, it needs an owner's manual! also, the coffee machine needed some serious servicing. It took four tries just to get a measly 3/4 cup of coffee.
