1. However, even with thatone small issue we hardly recommend this hotel.

2. However, the bathroom was so tiny, it was hard to close the door while using the toilet, the sink was outside by the closet, and when we requested extra blankets one night, it took 30 minutes because one of the two staff members downstairs was valeting cars.

3. It was also hard to control the temperature of the room at night.

4. The bed was among the most uncomfortable beds I have ever slept on in a hotel -- rock hard.

5. The only downside to this hotel was that when we arrived the receptionist spoke so fast and we were so tired (and being from another country the accept is hard to understand) they either didn't tell us about the free wine, cookies etc and I feel that we missed out.

7. A welcome oasis after a hard days work I pilled some long days and when I got back to the hotel I just enjoyed the room and slept It was very comfortable and refreshing.

8. My only (very small) complaints are that 1) this hotel is all wireless, so if you have an ancient computer like I do, it can be hard to get online and 2) not enough lighting in the desk area.

9. I did like the nice touch of having a coffee maker and real coffee packets in the room, and it was promptly replaced when the first one didn`t work, but the coffee packets weren`t always refreshed either, which made it hard to count on a nice cuppa when coming back late afternoon.

10. They seem to be mechanically challenged, the bathtub didn`t drain well, the shower diverter was hard to work, the smoke detector beeped loudly so we ripped the wires out.
