good decorconvenient locationwindow arrangementmissing handle

The decor was really good. It created a very pleasant atmosphere. the location was also quite convenient. I could easily walk to many places of interest. it was lovely.

Our room's fire exit involved CLIMBING through a window, a rather unexpected arrangement. the fire exit window lacked a handle. This complicated things further. It didn't feel very safe, to be honest.

the hotel location was good. everything was within a short walk. private parking at the hotel was very helpful. it made access very easy.

the shower temperature was inconsistent. it was either too hot or too cold and the water pressure was poor. i only got two tea bags and the mugs were very small. it was disappointing.
