The breakfast was quite extensive. I did find something to eat each morning.
The room was a letdown. It overlooked an internal courtyard and felt cramped. the advertised view was nonexistent, and the lack of natural light. it also wasn't properly cleaned. I noticed dust and grime accumulating throughout my stay.
