mixed feelings about my stay
thin wallslate service
finding a parking spot proved impossible, forcing me to haul luggage quite far. once settled in the room, constant mechanical noises, like flushing toilets, kept me awake. the walls felt paper-thin so i heard everything, i feel more tired now. a champagne order took a frustrating 30 minutes, as did breakfast. it seems the hotel basics need attention, it is very frustrating.
