dirty bathroom stray hair clip

The bed was very comfortable (I almost didn't want to get up).

The bathroom was not clean to my expectations, as there were hairs from previous guests and a stray hair clip on the floor. This made me question the overall cleanliness of the room.

Inconsistent stay. Issues overshadowed potential.

high noise level poor communication

the food at harbar on the 6 restaurant met expectations. the pizza and duck salad were delicious.

upon arrival, i requested an early check-in, though my room wasn't ready at 2 pm. i decided to have lunch while waiting, but the noise level in the lounge area made conversation nearly impossible. the lack of communication from the reception regarding the room's readiness was frustrating.
