good LES stay

modern decorslow elevator
Their attention to detail stood out. i was particularly impressed with the room decor. we appreciated the rooftop view. It was amazing. The hotel's garden area added a touch of serenity to our experience.
The elevators were often slow. It was a minor inconvenience. at times, it made moving between floors take longer than i would have liked. i hope this is something the hotel can improve.

the staff were awesome from check in to check out, so professional. the rooms were meticulously taken care of each day. the restaurant staff were so great, service was above and beyond.
the air conditioning sounded like a car's engine in the room. there was no replenishment of water bottles during the six night stay. the room itself felt tiny for the price.
