The decor is often described as excellent, and the rooms are appreciated for their cleanliness and useful amenities; some guests have been pleasantly surprised by gifts like t-shirts upon arrival.

minibar absence basic amenities

the hotel staff was helpful (i really needed that) .

I found the lack of a proper minibar in the room disappointing, especially considering the price i paid. It only had basic amenities, no refreshments or snacks were available.
