Underwhelming stay. Issues with service and room amenities
good water pressureunorganized breakfastadapter issue
the shower was a strong point, offering good water pressure.
The breakfast service fell short of expectations. It was disorganized. the room lacked an adapter for charging essential items like electric toothbrushes. it took multiple attempts and several days to resolve this, requiring a personal purchase.
