Excellent Stay Near Excel!

The room had a useful iron and ironing board, including a convenient hairdryer. Shampoo and shower gel were provided. Free tea and coffee were available. I also received complimentary cookies. That was a lovely touch. The AC unit in the room really helped keep me comfortable.
The breakfast selection on my last day was limited. Many items were missing. The cutlery was also limited. I had a spoon and fork, but my colleague had to use two forks.
