absent minibarimpractical bathroom

The complimentary minibar, a feature I always looked forward to, was absent despite the high room rate. I found this DISAPPOINTING. At check-in, I received assurances that an arrangement of goods would arrive in my room. nothing materialized. the bathroom's design presented difficulties, especially the need to climb out of a deep bath to use the shower, which I found impractical.

the check-in person noticed my birthday from my passport! shortly after, they sent bubbles, a lovely start to the stay. the suite was spacious and oh so comfy, especially the bed. alexa was useful and let me play music. i enjoyed the coffee maker and even bath salts for a nice soak after sightseeing.

I found very poor signage for the hotel. You don't see the hotel sign until you're about to walk in! there's nowhere to stop to safely drop people and luggage off.
