the room was spacious and clean. the pool facilities were well-kept, with convenient changing rooms and provided towels. the staff was very friendly and professional, especially in the restaurant, and at the concierge service.
i could hear people talking through the walls, which affected sleep quality. the noise came from adjacent rooms due to thin walls, this was a significant inconvenience. there were giggles and loud conversations into the late hours.

The location is pretty good, I will give them that.
The room was too warm and I could not adjust the temperature. It was quite unpleasant. I called maintenance, but they never came. I was forced to open the window.

I found the valet service excellent. It provided efficient assistance. The location allowed easy access to attractions. Everything was within walking distance. The staff demonstrated friendliness. The gold level lounge was a highlight. I enjoyed breakfast and canapés there.
My room smelled strongly of cleaning chemicals. This was somewhat off-putting. The blanket was also thin.

Mixed Feelings at Historic Hotel
ineffective climate controltripping hazard
The room I was given was far from satisfactory. I found a raised spot under the not new carpet. It was a tripping hazard, especially since it was not visible. The climate control was also ineffective so the room remained warm despite the cold weather outside.

The valet parking cost was significant. It added an unexpected expense to my stay. Waiting for my car took longer than expected. The room lacked sufficient soundproofing. Noise from neighboring rooms was audible.
