noisy climate controlloud music
I am not happy with my room. the climate control was noisy, so i turned it off to get some sleep. live music thumped until late. It played right below my first-floor room. i could not sleep well at all.
the room decor and the entire hotel are amazing and luxurious. the staff could not do enough. (i really felt pampered). the bar staff to the breakfast staff were amazing.
The room was a bit of a letdown. Some furniture looked old. the phone in the room wasn't working so i needed to go to reception for everything. i think there should be alternatives.
