check-in was efficient. the staff at the reception helped me locate nearby restaurants. the room included a well-stocked minibar with water and juice. the breakfast buffet offered a variety of hot and cold options. i found fresh pastries and a selection of cheeses. the room had blackout curtains that ensured a dark room at night. i could easily adjust the room temperature with the thermostat.
the gym equipment showed minor signs of wear.

The staff were very kind and helpful. That was acceptable.
The room i got was not in good condition at all. the shower sprayed water everywhere, and the windows were hard to open. I also found the towels to be small and worn. the whole place felt more like a budget stay than a four-star experience.

satisfactory stay

functioning acfriendly staffsmall towelscoffee replenishment
I appreciated the ac in my room. It was essential during those hot summer days. the breakfast was also good, and the staff was consistently friendly.
the room maids did not replenish the coffee after the first night, which i found a bit inconvenient. the towels provided were also quite small and i would have liked something larger.
