Satisfactory Stay

attentive staffnespresso machinecentral locationlate barsmall showersoft bedding
The staff at the hotel was very attentive. I am grateful for their assistance with my luggage. My room included a Nespresso coffee machine, and I found this very convenient. The location is near many good restaurants and shopping areas.
The hotel bar did not open until the late afternoon. This was inconvenient for an earlier drink. The shower in my room was very small. I kept bumping into the faucet handle. I found the bed and pillows were too soft.
