average stay with some issues

unreliable wifi limited breakfast

The wifi barely worked in the room. i tried to get some work done, but the connection kept dropping. also, the breakfast buffet was pretty basic. the food was lukewarm and there wasn't much variety. I found myself eating the same thing every morning. the air conditioning unit was excessively noisy and had a hard time keeping the room cool during the day.
