the kitchen had all necessary utensils it included a french press kettle and pots and pans. the bathrooms were large and very clean the hotel provided ample towels. the location was excellent and quiet while still being close to local attractions
there were no drawers in the room for storing clothes i found that inconvenient. one of the robes provided had bad stains i thought this unacceptable for a hotel of this standard. the bed was left unmade even though the towels were folded

the hotel had a great location near the waterfront and city center. the room included a well-equipped kitchenette, i found that very useful. the foyer was cute and there was a bistro on-site.
i had several issues with my room, i found it was a bit more like an apartment than a hotel. the main issue was the lack of ac. the bar was closed , this was disappointing.

The check in process was very nice and I received an upgraded room.
The bed was only a queen size. A larger bed would have been better. I also booked a room for the following week but I cancelled it.
