The staff provided friendly service. I easily arranged romantic enhancements for my stay (it was a nice surprise). The room included everything needed for a comfortable visit.
My room's sound insulation was poor. I heard every footstep and creak from the couple upstairs at night. The fridge in my room did not work. I consider this a minor issue.
