I found my stay at Peppers Silo to be a mixed experience. While the room was spacious and comfortable, it lacked some basic amenities and the bathroom could use better lighting and storage options.

I had high expectations for my stay at Peppers Silo, given its unique design and concept. The amenities were satisfactory, but my room's view and bathroom left much to be desired. Overall, while I enjoyed the spaciousness and some pleasant perks, it felt more like a business hotel rather than a luxury escape.
