4/5 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Everything about this hotel was right. lovely staff, great area, beautiful bedding. However, if you look more closely things seem to be falling apart. The cornice was cracking away from the wall, the duvet cover had tears in it, a bright orange television cord was exposed, and when I unplugged my items the entire outlet would pull away with them. All of that said, my room could’ve been an outlier but I doubt it.
