Decent Hotel, but Some Issues

poor cleaningexpensive breakfast

I had a few issues . The room was not cleaned properly one day (I even requested it!). The lack of attention to detail was disappointing, especially for a hotel of this category (I'm used to hotels to clean on a daily basis). I found the breakfast to be quite expensive for the variety of options available.

The hotel features modern architecture. There are solar panels installed, supporting eco-friendly practices, ALTHOUGH some may consider the building a stark contrast to its surroundings. Access to the bar was quite good.

Service

Morning buffet staff displayed super good service. One receptionist named Maria Martin was helpful, she was very knowledgeable. The room cleaners were also quite thorough. I appreciated their attention to detail.
