okay stay, some issues

basic breakfastpoor soundproofing
The breakfast was nothing special. Pretty basic stuff, really. i definitely missed having some hot options like eggs. also, the soundproofing wasn't great. i could hear everything happening in the room next door, a bit annoying. twice.

The reception staff were very helpful and nice. Breakfast was good, and the location was excellent.
The bathroom had a strange sewer smell. When I arrived the room smelled weird. I opened the balcony doors to air it out. I did not find this to be a wonderful hotel for the price. It was just ok.
