lovely experience

classic charm personal email helpful detail thoughtful gesture
I found a classic charm throughout the hotel. they sent a check-in message the morning of my arrival, it included helpful details. the manager offered complimentary croissants because i had to leave before breakfast. It was a thoughtful gesture.
the bathroom could use a deeper clean, i noticed the bin had not been emptied from previous guests. it's a VERY small detail though.

i found the manager warm. he also allowed us to check in early. this greatly helped us adjust to the time difference after arriving from overseas. he even offered to prepare complimentary croissants, because we needed to leave before breakfast.
i Did find that the advertised bar was not available. we were told it was only open Friday to sunday. The website did not state this, unfortunately. i had expected to have a drink in the bar.
