Honest review
What could be better
- —The hotel should provide printed informational flyers to clarify the complex elevator system and adopt industry-standard luxury practices by offering complimentary daily water and in-room coffee.
- —Management needs to improve the culinary execution of made-to-order dishes like omelets, offer a wider variety of high-quality products like Greek yogurt, and minimize morning staff interruptions for minibar checks.
- —The property should install additional safety features in bathrooms to prevent falls when exiting high-walled bathtubs and ensure that essential bathroom amenities are fully restocked before new guests arrive.
