mixed feelings about my stay

dirty entrance unhelpful staff
The entrance area was surprisingly unkempt. The garbage area right next to the hotel was visible from my balcony. some staff seemed less helpful when i arrived which wasn't a great start. the hotel lacked a certain finesse i expected it seemed a pity such small details were overlooked. there was no coffee maker in the beautiful double room with balcony initially i requested one it was dusty and had old capsules.

average stay, some issues

friendly staff clean room tasty variety hot water cold wind blinking light
the staff was friendly. the room was nice and clean. breakfast was good with a tasty variety. the hotel's location is near main attractions, and it remains quiet.
i didn't like that we had no hot water on arrival. the description said there's an elevator, but it only serves the first building. windows didn't properly close, and cold wind came inside. a green light was blinking throughout the night, and it was disturbing for sleep.
