Excellent location small rooms

coffee bar red wine
The hotel location was excellent for exploring the city. The team kept the complimentary coffee bar stacked with pastries. They also provided a bottle of portugese red wine. I found this attention to details quite commendable.
The room was smaller than anticipated. I booked a room with a view and the view was the wall of another building. I think that the room was overpriced
