Acceptable Stay with Notable Issues

small room furniture bumping
The room size was smaller than expected. I constantly bumped into furniture. I also heard significant noise from other rooms (the sound of cleaning equipment and loud talking), doors frequently squeaked and slammed, and television noises were common.

A Nice Stay

attentive staff delicious breakfast whiskey decanter quiet location
The staff were attentive, ensuring all needs were met promptly. Breakfast had a delicious selection of options. I particularly appreciated the decanter of whiskey in the room upon arrival (a lovely touch!). I walked to attractions nearby, and the location was quiet.
The cocktail selection was somewhat limited and the presentation could use some improvement.
