Poor design of a room. The bathroom light switch is not by the bathroom but at the entrance and is in series with a light in the entrance so if you turn the light on during the night you wake up the sleepers. Two beds but one chair so to talk or watch tv you have to sit on the bed. No electricity in the bath and no tissues in the room.

**“I had an amazing stay — what really stood out was the warmth and professionalism of the staff. The team made everything feel effortless and welcoming. My room was spotless, comfortable, and quiet, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was modern, vibrant, and really thoughtfully designed. It’s the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression and gets you thinking about how hospitality can feel both personal and elevated at the same time. I definitely look forward to coming back and exploring more of what the hotel offers.”**
