damp smellpoor food
The room they gave me felt far from premium. I noticed a distinct smell of dampness in both the room and along the corridors. That was off-putting. the food was a letdown. A curry sauce with a skin is NOT appetizing. The price I paid really did not match the overall quality, disappointing.

unwelcoming bar staffalternative option
the bar staff were unwelcoming. i asked for a liqueur coffee after 10pm but the machine was off. no alternative was offered. i also asked for a margarita but received a flat 'no' without explanation. it was like i was in the way as they were already cleaning for breakfast.

The room was super clean upon arrival. I appreciated the handy light switches located near the bed. The hotel's beer garden has a pizza oven, it provides a nice place for the afternoons. The pizza ordering process was quick by using a QR code.
The WiFi signal in my room was too weak. Though, I didn't report it to the reception.
