serene and thoughtful stay
natural materials well placed lighting hiba wood tub lobby amenities
The design of my room used pleasing materials, and the lighting was well placed. i liked the rectangular hiba wood tub. the hotel information was well-designed and worth reading. i appreciated the lobby amenities and the gracious check-in service.
The only very minor issue i encountered was the absence of a coffee machine in the room. I had to go downstairs to the lounge before 7 am and hope the machine was on though
