terrible attitudeno apology
The attitude of one staff member was terrible. I told her at check-in that I had already paid. She charged my card again anyway! Two days later, she admitted her mistake, but she offered no apology and lied about our earlier conversation. This made me quite upset.

the location was central. the staff were helpful and friendly. emily made a basket with treats for our anniversary. she really went out of her way to help us, and i appreciated it.
the smart features did not work well. the cook top was not working so i could not cook food. they offered a free breakfast, but it did not make up for the cost of eating out.

Acceptable stay with issues

convenient locationfaulty air conditioningunsatisfactory cleaning
The location was convenient for seeing the city (especially near the castle).
The room I had was not what I expected. The air conditioning turned on during the night, even after I turned it off. I found this quite disruptive to my sleep. cleaning was not thorough, with suspicious stains on the throw cushions.
