good locationfaulty acstrange bed
the location was good.
i was disappointed by the ac , it did not function properly and the room stayed at 73 degrees. the bed was made strangely , just flat sheets were tucked over the comforter. also , the water temperature in the shower was either too hot or too cold .
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.
