strange pillows small portion
The strange pillows bothered me. One felt hard and thin, like it was old. the other pillow felt large and newer. i also noted a lack of body cream or conditioner in the bathroom. it's a pain when travelers can't bring more than 100ml on planes. the portion sizes for the cost were disappointing. there wasn't even bread with service. it all felt a bit stingy. I expected more for the price.

The breakfast offered sufficient choices and fresh ingredients. The room was clean and it included two complimentary bottles of water. Staff was friendly, especially when I needed help with directions.
The room had no proper window, only a patio door. It was hard to keep it open because the mechanism was broken. there was some noise early in the morning because of linen trollies near my room.
