mixed feelings about location AND service

room quality broken phone
the location is excellent, i agree. however, the rooms are not what i expected. the pictures online made it seem more luxurious. the price i paid did not match the room's quality. also, the phone in the room did not work. i had to call reception from my mobile to ask for the room to be cleaned because it was late afternoon and no one had come by. IT WAS FRUSTRATING.

i totally loved the lobby area near the fireplace , it was just perfect for unwinding with a glass of wine at the end of the day. the room was spacious and i had a fantastic view.
the parking situation was a bit of a squeeze and not guaranteed , even though it was advertised online. i also noticed the rooms didn't quite match the online pictures , they felt a little dated.
