Balanced Experience

friendly barrooftop terracedecorated roombreakfast portionavailability issue
The hotel bar staff are friendly and always there. I saw nice views on the rooftop terrace, that felt special. My room looked nicely decorated, but I only noticed this.
I needed to book the spa in advance. I only found this out the day I wanted to use it. There was no availability, I was disappointed. My breakfast portion seemed small, so I didn't like it.

Mixed Feelings About My Stay

worn roomslow bar service
My visit started well, but some issues emerged. The room I received, a Standard King Room, looked a little worn (the walls could use a fresh coat of paint). the service at the bar was slow one evening. It took a while to get someone's attention, and then the drinks took longer than expected to arrive. (I noticed other patrons experiencing similar delays.)
