Acceptable, but attention to detail lacking

convenient locationwarm milkmissing robes
The location was convenient. A short walk led directly to the town center.
I found several issues. The fridge was not turned on when I arrived, so the milk was warm. There were no robes in my room while a family member in an identical room had two (strange!). Checkout staff did not seem concerned when I provided this feedback.

I liked the size of our room. It was larger than I thought it would be. The king suite had an very nice view too. When we needed firmer pillows they brought new ones very fast.
The room smelled like cigarette smoke. I guessed that was from the previous guest. Parking felt terrible to me. It was difficult to find my room because the hotel seemed like a rabbit warren.
