The location was definitely a highlight. It made exploring nearby attractions very convenient. The staff were also helpful when I needed assistance with directions.
The room was somewhat dated. The furniture showed noticeable signs of wear, and the bathroom fixtures looked old. noise from outside was audible in my room at night, which disturbed my sleep a little.
The team provided an upgrade to a suite when they could not meet our two-bed request, a great solution for us. The suite included a comfortable king bed and a convenient pull-out bed. The bathroom was quite large. It featured lots of plush towels and a heated towel rack. The hotel's location was fantastic, near numerous restaurants and shopping spots.
I found that the coffee machine was not very clean, and there was no milk or sugar left for making drinks.

the early check-in was convenient, great to drop our bags and start exploring. the staff was good, and breakfast featured great waiting staff who explained everything clearly! i did wish there was milk or sugar provided with the in-room water and coffee machine. seeing the wheel lit up at night was an amazing view.
I thought putting the wi-fi password in the rooms is needed, as i only noticed it upon checking out. This small addition would be really helpful !
