Mixed Stay, Some Issues
central locationeasy accessfly in eggdismissed complaint
The location was central, providing easy access to the main attractions. I appreciated being close to shopping districts.
The breakfast was disappointing. I found a fly in my egg yolk. I messaged the staff but they dismissed my concern as an inconvenience. This experience made me reconsider future stays and dining at the restaurant.
