acceptable locationold carpetdiy tiling
the location was acceptable. it was close enough to the things i wanted to see.
the room was not good. the carpet looked really old and tired. the tiling looked like a diy project gone wrong. the coffee maker still had old coffee grounds. a so-called 4-star hotel should offer nespresso at least. i think this hotel is not worth the price i payed.

we found solace here, a brief escape before the whirlwind of the holidays. my company's christmas luncheon became our enchanting overnight retreat. a super courteous check-in process meant our king-sized room was ready ahead of schedule. we loved this cozy room, so clean with wonderful appointments, offering the perfect place for a needed afternoon nap.
the soundproofing wasn't perfect, but that was a very minor distraction.
