cold breakfast poor practices
the rooftop terrace was available and it had a pleasant design.
the breakfast wasn't good for me because everything felt so cold. i think there must be a section with international food options. also, i saw one staff member cut cheese, eat it, then place it back on the table.

convenient location rooftop restaurant good food choices dirty bedsheets broken shower street noise
The location was super convenient. It was close to major attractions. I could easily walk to places. Breakfast offered lots of food choices. I appreciated the variety. The rooftop restaurant had good views. It made breakfast ENJOYABLE.
My bed sheets had a stain. They were also dirty. This was not good. One shower was broken. It did not work at all. The street noise was very loud. It made sleeping difficult.
