decent but not flawless

room decor amazing decor luxurious hotel old furniture broken phone furniture condition
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.
