hotel cleanliness attentive staff convenient location prompt request

I really enjoyed the cleanliness throughout the hotel. my room was super clean when i arrived, and housekeeping kept it that way . the staff was attentive. They promptly addressed my requests. i found the location convenient, with many attractions within walking distance, a definite plus.

The water pressure in the shower was lower than i prefer. It was good, though certainly not a deal-breaker.

breakfast choice egg option missing ice maker no refrigerator

the breakfast had a very good choice of options. i particularly enjoyed the variety, it included eggs and bacon. (i think this is very important!).

There was no ice maker on my floor, this was inconvenient. i also noticed there was no refrigerator in the room. It would be useful.
