The location was a dream. It was like we were steps away from every place we wanted to visit. the breakfast offered barista coffee, a good perk as we started our mornings together. our king room high floor was quiet, so the city noise was minimal, allowing us restful nights.

the tablet, controlling everything, took some time to adjust to.

small roomtemperamental controls

The room seemed smaller than expected. it was difficult to manage luggage. I practically lived out of my suitcase because there wasn't much space. also the ipad controls were a bit temperamental. sometimes the lights would flicker for no reason and the blind controls were slow to respond, i found it a bit annoying.
