excellent experience

early check-infree parkinglavender soap
I arrived slightly before the scheduled check-in, and my room was prepared, allowing me immediate access! i was able to utilize the hotel parking without charge. i also received permission to keep my car there after checking out. This enabled me to enjoy a leisurely brunch nearby.
The bathroom soap had a lavender scent. I am sensitive to lavender and i couldn't use it. i normally don't hold this against places as this is a personal issue and lavender soaps tend to be used alot in hotels.

I found the location excellent, near many cafes. the cleanliness in my room was noteworthy, with attention to detail. i was particularly impressed by the indian restaurant attached. It provided a unique dining experience. the food was amazing and the service was attentive.
the soundproofing was inadequate, i could clearly hear noise from adjacent rooms. this disrupted my sleep. i suggest soundproofing improvements to enhance future guest experience.
