Acceptable Stay, Problems Experienced

excellent locationunfriendly staffmissing usb
The location was excellent for exploring the city.
I was underwhelmed for a hotel at this price point. The room lacked USB charging points, something pretty standard these days. The TV did not connect to the internet, preventing screen mirroring. Spa staff were unfriendly, telling me children are only allowed in the pool for one hour in the mornings.
