minor issues

bottled water policy no smart tv
i wasn't thrilled needing to ring a bell each time i wanted to enter. it hardly feels like a fancy hotel when you have to ask permission. the bottled water situation was a real head-scratcher, too. you usually get free water at a supposed fancy hotel, but i got charged daily for replacements. it's just not a good look and feels cheap. honestly, no smart tv, so i could not watch netflix. that felt outdated for 2024.

decent stay Overall

convenient location spacious suite fresh options water policy annoying bell smart tv
The location was fairly convenient to access the main attractions. my room was a suite. It felt spacious. breakfast was a positive and provided fresh options daily.
The bottled water policy was inconvenient. I had to pay for replacements. i found it annoying that a bell was needed to enter. there wasn't a smart tv in the room that limited entertainment options.
