soggy applestale sandwiches
the breakfast box they give you if you leave early is a joke. the sandwiches looked like they were made by someone who hates bread, and they tasted even worse. i think they found the apple in the lost and found, it was that sad and soggy.

A good city retreat

prime locationrich varietycheerful staffspacious room
The hotel boasts an excellent location within easy reach of key attractions. The breakfast offered a rich variety, ensuring a satisfying start to the day. Staff members were consistently helpful and showed cheer. The well-designed room was spacious, and i especially liked the shower.
I noticed the absence of complimentary water in the room. It reminded me of a slight oversight for a hotel of this standard.
