mixed feelings on this apartment

confusing lighting lack of communication

the location was acceptable, providing convenient access to nearby attractions.

The confusing lighting and heating controls were a real headache. Even the staff struggled with them. also, the lack of communication about the elevator locking mechanism caused unnecessary stress. i almost got locked out of my own apartment.

adequate stay, some issues encountered

complex lighting obstructed sea view

The location was acceptable. It allowed easy access to nearby restaurants.

The lighting system proved unnecessarily complex. I struggled to operate it efficiently. moreover, the promised sea view was largely obstructed by adjacent buildings. this diminished the overall experience i anticipated from my chosen room type.

complicated lighting small fitness center

The instructions for the complicated lighting system were not clear and that was annoying. (I spent a good hour figuring them out). The fitness center was also smaller than expected. It only had a couple of treadmills and some free weights so I could not complete my routine.

Acceptable Hotel Experience

wonderful kitchen excellent location convenient bus stop unfriendly staff additional charge expensive linens

I've found the kitchen wonderful. I could cook dinner and breakfast easily because of that. The location is near bus stop four. This made getting around quite simple and fast.

The staff wanted to charge for everything. I even had to pay for extra linens which was unusual. The woman was unfriendly . She didn't seem to want to help with anything.
