Excellent Stay with Notable Amenities

The reception staff was helpful upon my arrival. I received a complimentary upgrade to a suite. This suite featured well-considered decor with vegan materials. I spent an hour in the executive lounge and there was a good selection of drinks available. The staff was helpful in the lounge. I also enjoyed breakfast in the restaurant. It had a good selection. (I especially liked the pastries.)
The mattress was very firm and contained coiled springs. This made the bed slightly less comfortable.

The room featured both a television with multiple channels and a coffee maker. The bathroom included two separate sinks and a rainfall shower. The climate control system maintained a consistent temperature, and blackout curtains ensured darkness.

Adequate, but Some Issues

dim lightingstrange smell
The room lighting was too dim. It made it difficult to work or relax comfortably in the evenings. the lack of a proper wardrobe for coats was inconvenient. There was also a strange smell in the room upon arrival. The smell lingered throughout my stay despite attempts to air out the space.
