Acceptable Stay in the City Center

spacious roomconvenient locationbreakfast varietydifficult door carddelay replacement
The room was spacious. I had a refrigerator. The location was convenient for accessing local sites. I appreciated the good variety offered during breakfast.
I had to use the stairs. The door card was difficult to use. Replacing the door card also proved difficult, causing some delay.

The staff were helpful with directions and recommendations. Breakfast included eggs, fruit, and coffee. It started the day well. A sitting area on our floor was available. It offered a place for conversation. The room was very spacious.

the staff were very polite. they accommodated my room request made before arrival. (i was so grateful!) the suite was spacious, and it had windows. the breakfast room staff remembered my food preferences and were willing to accommodate them.
some of our belongings disappeared. we went out and asked about the check-out time. i later realized some items were missing like a backpack and a shirt. the value wasn't significant but the feeling was quite unpleasant.
