Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

ample storageart decopoor wifiunconcerned staff

The location was good for accessing different attractions. The room had ample storage. I could unpack and store my suitcase out of sight. I found the art deco theme throughout the hotel beautiful. The buffet breakfast included a chocolate fondue fountain.

The shower was only over the bath. This was tricky. The WiFi was poor. I could not download documents. The incident involved someone near the doorway. The staff did not seem concerned. No one followed up.
