underwhelming stay, service inconsistent

slow check-inmissing amenities
The check-in process was slow. the room i was assigned (a beautiful studio) lacked a coffee machine, which i found inconvenient. on one day, fresh towels and a bath mat were missing. This delayed my departure as i had to call for them to be delivered (quite a wait too).
