The room was modern and bright. The mini kitchen was equipped with everything i needed. I found the bathroom gorgeous and clean (i loved the design!).

The location was acceptable, near local attractions.
I encountered issues. The television did not work. The staff did not seem concerned about this problem. I expect such basic amenities to function flawlessly.

I loved that the room included a Dyson fan, perfect for warmer days. The hotel staff even provided hair straighteners in the room. I thought that was amazing!
The pillows in the room were too soft! My neck hurt a lot during the night. There wasn't any breakfast available at the hotel. It was a big letdown, honestly. I had to find somewhere early in the morning.
