the staff were kind. this was acceptable.
the breakfast was a real letdown. the selection felt limited. i ended up spending extra money to order from delivery services. also, the sound insulation in the rooms was terrible. i could clearly hear conversations from neighboring rooms. this really disturbed my sleep.

The hotel provided a decent breakfast. It had various options.
I found the lighting in the room inadequate. It made tasks difficult. The air conditioning was inconsistent and hard to regulate. It caused discomfort. the shower was not functioning correctly for four days, a problem the reception staff did not solve.
