A Beautiful Stay

The bedroom decoration was very beautiful. The bed was comfortable too. I requested a bathtub and they changed our room. We were so grateful.
The housekeeping standards weren't very good. The hotel did not keep us properly informed about where to park. We only found out on the day we arrived. The instructions were incorrect.

The location proved convenient for visiting nearby attractions.
I was disappointed since the car park was closed upon arrival, and it had been closed for some time. I had to carry my bags from a public car park, that created a significant inconvenience for me.
