The staff greeted me with warmth and efficiency. They quickly took my luggage up to the room. the honor bar was quite convenient for a quick drink upon arrival after a long day exploring. i enjoyed pastries each morning. They were a good treat to start the day. the rooftop terrace area provided a tranquil space.
I noticed some slight noise from adjacent properties early in the morning. It was minor though.
