Acceptable Stay, but Some Issues Noted

air conditioningpoor soundproofingslow service
The air conditioning worked well. This was definitely a relief.
The soundproofing was an issue. I easily heard conversations from neighboring rooms. The housekeeping staff was quite loud, banging doors frequently during the day. Service in the bar area seemed slow. It often took a while to get assistance, a disappointment.

wonderful hotel experience!

warm welcomehelpful staffpoor pillows
i appreciated the warm welcome from the staff. the facilities were very clean and well-kept throughout my visit. the staff were always available with a smile and were ready to assist with any requests i had.
the extra bed i requested for a family member wasn't prepared. this required a follow-up even after returning from dinner, a bit inconvenient. the provided spare pillows were of poor quality.
