fantastic stay!

late checkoutbed comfortlimited equipment
The staff were friendly and helpful. I especially appreciated their assistance with a late checkout. the room had a wonderful scent, and the bed provided really good comfort! i found the location to be convenient with good access to transport links and city attractions.
The gym, while good, could benefit from having more equipment to accommodate all guests at peak times. this would greatly improve the workout experience and reduce waiting times. It's a small point, but significant for frequent gym users.

Carlos assisted with check-in and room arrangements. He helped arrange a room with a tub. The architecture had a gorgeous appearance. The location proved convenient for exploring nearby attractions.
I noticed some informal attire worn by staff members. The staff wore trainers and casual clothes, I thought. I overheard another guest being offered complimentary breakfast. I was not offered this initially. The hot buffet lacked some advertised items.
