the kitchen was wonderful. comfy beds and bedding were also a plus.

I found the heating and lighting controls confusing. Staff didn't seem to know how they worked either. even worse, the wardrobe doors broke just before checkout. it really spoiled my first visit.

I had some disappointments. The many lighting buttons seemed unnecessarily confusing. It was hard to work them. The lift opened directly into our apartment. No one told us during check-in we shouldn't close the door when leaving or we would be locked out! We discovered this only when a receptionist delivered a heater to us.
