The breakfast had a good variety of options, at least.

My room was not cleaned for two consecutive days. That's just not acceptable. Elevators were also a major problem. They were busy. Some elevators were out of service..

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.
