underwhelming stay
cold coffee steep stairs
the breakfast setup was a letdown. it felt more like a basic coffee shop than a luxury hotel offering. the coffee wasn't hot enough even after i asked for heated milk. also the steep stairs up to my room were a bit unsafe and the low beams required careful navigation.
