we received an upgrade to a top floor apartment that had a bathtub.

the security system was difficult. it was a real hassle, especially since i don't see very well. my daughter also struggled with it. i wouldn't book again just because of this, especially if i were alone. pillows were also uncomfortable and saggy.

The decor was superb. High-end furniture exists. The owners restored this building wonderfully. The hotel is near a park. The seafront is also close by.

Accessing the room was hard. The door code entry system is complicated. I found no toilet paper in the room. A small fridge is desirable for fresh milk.
