balanced stay overall
friendly staff helpful staff efficient check-in good food thin wall glum waitress unclear assignment
The staff was friendly and helpful! i loved the efficient check-in process. the food was good. It was what i expected. the room was a good size with big windows that opened to the main street.
The walls in my room seemed a bit thin. I could hear conversations. i assumed tables were assigned by room number at breakfast but that was not clear. the waitress seemed glum when i was waiting for coffee.

The hotel welcomed my dog with bowls full of treats and cozy blankets in the room. We enjoyed delicious meals together in the lounge. The staff made a fuss over him. I found fresh fruit at breakfast, a lovely surprise.
I found the walls a bit thin. I could hear some noise from other guests.
