Really good Stay!

abundant buffetresponsive staffunclean shared bathrooms
The location is fantastic, contributing to the overall experience. I really appreciated the buffet breakfast because it was delicious and abundant, made for a great start to the day. The staff was very responsive, and I considered them to be very courteous. The hotel had a vibe that was calm, classy, and friendly.
Shared bathrooms were not as clean. Every time I went to the bathroom someone was immediately trying to get in. They stood outside with crossed arms, a bit unpleasant. I believe more frequent cleaning could really improve this.

I found the breakfast area quite cramped. Space was limited, especially during peak hours. Navigating with a plate proved difficult. The selection lacked variety. I noticed the same items offered each morning. The coffee provided was also not to my standard. I think these aspects could greatly improve the experience.
