decent selectionpoor soundproofingstreet noise
the breakfast was good, with a decent selection available.
I found a few issues . the air conditioning barely worked, so the room was quite warm, even at night. also, the soundproofing wasn't great. I could hear a lot of street noise (especially early in the morning), which disturbed my sleep.
