poor ac performance unrestocked minibar
the staff was nice and chill. the welcome lemonade hit the spot. being able to store bags before and after checkout was really helpful
the ac didn't seem to work very well. we mentioned it to reception multiple times, but nothing really happened. the room stayed quite warm. also, the minibar wasn't restocked daily, so water wasn't always available
