really good service thoughtful gifts warm demeanor nice gestures

Henry, one of the night managers, provided excellent service. He assisted with room service and checkout. His cute and warm demeanor created a feeling of being at home. He provided thoughtful gifts, unexpected and kind. The concierge, Adrian, arranged spa services on short notice. He.

The room size was a bit small. There was not a lot of space for luggage.

non-existent soundproofing serious issue

the room was cleaned daily to perfection and the housekeeping staff were accommodating.

i found the soundproofing virtually non-existent. i could hear everything from other rooms, disappointing. this could be a serious issue if you are a light sleeper (as i am).
