Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean but the shower curtain was stinky. The service was good. They let us check in a bit early when the room was ready. The elevator was very small and cramped. I forgot my phone charger in the room and unfortunately they don’t have any service to send it back to me… apparently I would have to set up a courier and arrange everything for myself. I thought this was a bit subpar. I don’t think I would stay at this hotel again.
