i thought breakfast had attentive service. staff promptly fixed a shower door that came off its rails when i reported it during breakfast. i saw the repair completed by the time i returned to my table to finish eating.

underwhelming stay with some issues

dated roompoor soundproofing
The room felt a bit tired. the bathroom had been updated, but the rest seemed dated. a lamp near the bed didn't work, it was a minor fix. i didn't see staff at reception often, maybe because the building is old. soundproofing was poor. I heard doors slamming and conversations from other rooms. it made sleep difficult, even with a comfy bed.
