decent stay NEAR attraction

blackout shades complimentary water adequate space
i stayed in the double or twin room. The room had blackout shades, which helped block out light. I found two complimentary bottles of water replaced daily. The closet offered plenty of space for clothes AND luggage.
the shower pressure in my room was somewhat LOW, which affected the overall experience.

dinner reservation delicious food rain head shower okay reception leaking kettle instant coffee
The front desk staff provided dinner reservations promptly. Breakfast had delicious food and kind, cute servers. Our room included a spacious bathroom with an oversized shower with a rain head.
The reception experience during check-in was only okay. The kettle in my room leaked, and they could not replace it. In-room coffee was instant coffee. Therefore, I needed the kettle.
