easy check-infriendly staffbreakfast optionscratchy beddingsmall flies

Breakfast included many options.. It provided a great start to the day. The staff was friendly and helpful. They made the check-in process very easy.

There were some small flies in the room, even with the windows closed. I found this a bit annoying. The bedding was scratchy. That affected my sleep quality.

Decent Stay, But Room for Improvement

poor soundproofingbasic breakfast

At first glance, the hotel looked nice. the lack of soundproofing between rooms was a real issue. I heard every footstep and conversation and it was difficult to sleep. The included breakfast was okay, though other nearby places offer more variety. The room also lacked a proper shower, just a curtain without a tray, made the bathroom floor wet and unpleasant.

mixed feelings about this stay

the included breakfast was acceptable. it offered a basic but decent start to the day.

my room was not good. the walls felt thin and sounds from the hallway were very audible all night. the lack of proper ventilation made the room stuffy, but opening the window invited sand flies inside.

Acceptable Stay with a Few Issues

spacious roomlow water pressurepoorly maintained buffet

The room was quite spacious, which I appreciated.

I was really frustrated by the lack of attention to detail. The shower had very low water pressure. The thin walls meant I could hear everything from adjacent rooms, and this disrupted my sleep. The breakfast buffet was poorly maintained. Several items were empty for extended periods, a problem.
