disappointing view and hidden amenities

functional air conditioninginterior viewno pamphlets
the room was clean and the air conditioning worked well during the heatwave.
I was given the option of a city facing or quiet interior view upon checking in. I thought quiet meant a charming courtyard, but the sixth-floor room faced a wall eight feet away with little light, like a prison. there was no introduction to the hotel amenities, so i didn't know about the gym or restaurant until the next day, as there were no welcome pamphlets. the front desk agent didn't ask about my stay upon checkout.

Absolutely wonderful stay

attentive staffhotel locationmodern designplentiful water
The staff was attentive. I appreciated the small extras. I found snacks in the room upon arrival. Lemonade was available at the front desk, a sweet touch. The hotel's location worked very well for sightseeing. The location felt okay all time, so I felt comfortable walking at night. The cleanliness and modern design of the hotel were apparent. I especially appreciated plentiful bottled water provided. The room had air conditioning that worked well. The bed and pillows helped ensure I slept soundly each night. I was offered drink vouchers for the bar. It was nice to have a drink before dinner at the theater. The room's design and layout proved functional and relaxing. The bathroom space was ample with good lighting. I really felt at home here. I am already planning my next visit.
The gym could use a few more updated machines.

A Mixed Experience

keurig coffee makerfriendly stafflimited lightinterior view
The staff demonstrated friendliness and attentiveness. The hotel offered a Keurig coffee maker in the room (a nice touch) and provided complimentary water bottles daily. This made mornings quite convenient.
I was given the option of a city-facing or interior view, but the interior view room faced a wall only eight feet away. Little natural light entered the room. I felt a lack of hospitality from start to finish.
