I begrudge my stay. The breakfast area was too small. Every morning, a line formed. The staff did not manage it well. the room lighting was dim. I needed more light for reading and I was squinting. The overall room design seemed to prioritize style over functionality.

poor climate control restricted lift access
The room's climate control was poor. I could not adjust the temperature properly. Breakfast felt limited. The selection seemed basic for the price. I also found the lift access restricted at times due to security measures for a VIP guest. It was inconvenient! The staff, while polite, seemed a little overwhelmed with simple requests. This slowed down service? considerably

the location was acceptable near the harbor.
The breakfast buffet was quite limited. I expected more variety. also, the black decor in the entrance seemed excessive. it. The hotel reception should improve this.
the front entrance proved very accessible. taxis could easily drop me off. i also appreciated the spacious room i received. it also had a nice view of the courtyard.
the sleeping area had terrible lighting. it was difficult to organize my luggage during the limited daylight. the bathroom also left much to be desired. the towels did not seem luxurious.
