Balanced experience

The staff was very friendly, always ready to help (they were amazing). My room was quiet, perfect for getting some rest. The rooms were very clean also.
I found no telephone in the room, something i consider essential. The room felt a bit small, especially when traveling with luggage. No amenities were provided, which would have been a plus (a little detail makes a difference).
