absent lift weak wifi
my visit encountered a couple snags i wasn't thrilled about the absence of a lift proved a minor inconvenience with luggage transport to upper floors it's a small detail but mattered the wi-fi signal strength in my room was surprisingly weak for a modern hotel a more robust connection would've enhanced the stay.
