    incorrect room
    overpriced services

    Unfortunately, our stay was marred by several issues. The room we were given was not what we booked. I had requested a King bed, but we were assigned a Queen instead. The staff’s attempts to convince us it was a 'King-like' bed felt dismissive. Additionally, the car service rates were inconsistent and significantly higher than what Uber offered, which left us feeling frustrated and taken advantage of.

    limited breakfast options

    The service was exceptional and made our stay

    memorable. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ensuring we had everything we needed. The only downside was the limited breakfast options, which could use more variety. However, everything else was delightful.

    The little touches, like the cozy interior and the impressive decor, really made our time memorable. The only downside was that the taxi service was a bit pricey compared to local rates, but it didn’t overshadow our amazing experience! 😄
