A balanced experience

beautiful buildingclear instructioncute roomroom cleaningfresh mugssubpar stay
The building is undeniably beautiful. Instructions were clear for accessing the room. My room was also cute with a bonus of a balcony. it had a great view. The breakfast basket was delicious!
The price made me expect a room cleaning after the first night. I would have also appreciated a fresh pair of mugs. It was hard to get hold of anyone if I needed assistance. I had to leave voicemails. It was a subpar stay considering the cost.
