Mixed experience. Some issues noted

cute staffunavailable roomineffective air conditioning
the staff was cute, which i appreciated.
The room i had booked was not available upon arrival, a disappointment. the replacement room faced the interior, not offering the views advertised. the air conditioning was also ineffective, maintaining a temperature that was far from satisfactory. This made sleeping difficult.

the room i was in was a bit of a letdown. i thought the room would be quieter but street noise was noticeable. also, the complimentary treats, while nice in theory, were a little stale. i think fresher snacks and better soundproofing would improve the stay.
