Really good stay in a prime location

The hotel's location offered easy access to shops, restaurants, and transport. I found it convenient. Our room featured ample counter space in the bathroom. It also had separate toilet and shower areas, a detail I appreciated. The staff demonstrated consistent helpfulness and friendliness throughout my visit.
The breakfast lacked variety, limiting my choices each morning. I found it slightly disappointing

efficient stay, great location

bed comfortconvenient controlsstaff assistanceminimal interaction
i found the bed very comfy and appreciated the convenient light controls beside it. the separate shower and tub area helped keep the vanity dry. check-in was simple using the machines, and staff were available to assist as needed.
I found that the interaction with staff during check-in was minimal since it was mostly automated. I also was told that the concierge only makes reservations for the hotel restaurant.
