faulty air conditioningirregular replenishment
The air conditioning did not work well (I swear, I was melting). The staff attempted to fix it, but the room remained uncomfortably warm. I found that the provided toiletries were not replenished regularly. I had to ask for more shampoo and soap multiple times, a bit inconvenient. Clearly, some attention to detail is needed.

I appreciated the upgrade to a spacious room that had a balcony. the bathroom was huge, and the water pressure was powerful! the rooftop bar was pleasant. The drinks were well-made.
The noise outside was terrible, it made sleeping difficult one night. It was quite disturbing. i was also advised not to walk into town at night because of safety concerns.

The location was wonderful. It was very close to the train station, made arrivals easy. Breakfast included excellent coffee and various options.
The staff seemed overwhelmed by phone calls, a distraction. The lady at reception barely spoke to us when we arrived. I felt our requests were an inconvenience to the ladies at reception.

the historic hotel had intricate details in each room i found its charming character appealing. spacious accommodations featured all-wood furnishings adding to its unique appeal. the hotel's friendly staff provided excellent service .
the first floor room was near the stairs for the lobby. because of proximity to the lobby and restaurant it was not quiet. i would have preferred a quieter location within the hotel.
