my room, a luxury room, was really spacious and the design felt both modern and timeless. the bed was comfortable and i slept soundly each night. i noticed the bathroom had a nice walk-in shower, that had strong water pressure. also, i found the climate control system easy to use.
the tv remote was a bit unresponsive at times, it was a minor thing, but it did happen.

inconsistent water temperatureunreplenished minibar
I found several issues . The shower had very inconsistent water temperature. It fluctuated between hot and cold without warning. The minibar was not replenished daily, and I had to call several times to get it restocked. This was quite annoying as I wanted a cold drink after a long day of sightseeing.
