convenient locationextensive arrayreally good kindnessbright lighting
i found the location convenient, with many attractions accessible by foot. breakfast offered an extensive array of fresh juices, including a wonderful bosque juice i wish i had discovered sooner. the staff demonstrated really good kindness and attentiveness.
the bar lacked atmosphere, with lighting too bright for a relaxing evening. i requested a physical menu, but a waitress bluntly refused before walking away. it is odd, a five-star hotel not having printed menus.

The location was acceptable.
The room i booked was worn and the view was poor. All i could see from the window was concrete and grating, with no natural light, not ideal at all. i had expected more considering the price. the shower was also in the bath with only a thin curtain, which failed to properly contain the water.
