early accesslovely roombig choiceflawed system
i loved the quick check-in and early room access. i requested a bath and got a lovely room with one. breakfast had excellent food with a big choice.
I was disturbed by housekeeping and a phone call from the front desk. they reminded me that checkout time had passed after agreeing to extend check-out to 2pm. it seems the front desk team does not communicate with each other. The system is flawed.

the room featured a spacious layout and a very comfy atmosphere. a big bed and a big wardrobe add to the room's functionality and provide ample storage space. the bathroom was equally excellent, very spacious and clean.
