cold food minibar issue
the location was convenient. it was fairly close to local attractions.
The breakfast was NOT great. the food was often cold and didn't cater to tastes beyond the traditional turkish fare. i found only boiled eggs and toast were acceptable. the minibar was a sham. I was charged for items i didn't consume. a irritating experience.
