long wait malfunctioning tablet

I was annoyed that the hotel felt understaffed. I had to wait an unreasonably long time to get assistance with my luggage. Also the in-room tablet, controlling lights and curtains, malfunctioned several times a day. It was frustrating because I had to call for assistance repeatedly. This disrupted my rest quite a bit.

Excellent Location and Comfortable Stay

The location near the train station was convenient. It made travel easy! Restaurants offered many dining options nearby. The gym surprised me with its equipment. The room was quite comfortable. I appreciated the layout and space.

I found the western breakfast buffet choices lacking. The hot water from the coffee machine splattered. This was a safety concern. Body lotion in the bathroom would have been a welcome addition.

I appreciated the room's modern design. It felt spacious and well-organized. The automated system to request items was quite convenient. I asked for a shaving kit, and a robot promptly delivered it. The breakfast had many options, from Western to Asian dishes. The freshly squeezed orange juice stood out as especially nice.

I found the language skills of some staff limited. Basic questions about local transport were sometimes difficult to communicate!
