The room lacked attention to detail. I found several hairs in the bathroom upon arrival. The minibar remained empty throughout my stay. I expected it to be restocked daily (or at least contain a welcome beverage).

The location was great, with convenient amenities available.
The pool towels were surprisingly tiny. I expected something larger at a hotel of this caliber. the hot tub temperature wasn't very comfortable, disappointing after a long day.

great location helpful staff generous bathroom faulty thermostat noisy machine grinding noises
the location is great for the station and the market. the staff are helpful, i appreciate that. my room had a desk, it was useful. the bathroom was generous.
the shower thermostat was faulty in my first room. i reported this, but the maintenance man said there was nothing wrong. there was a noisy ice-making machine right on the other side of the wall to my bed. it made grinding noises during the night.
