The breakfast selection met my needs adequately.
The air conditioning was a real problem. It seemed to switch off during the night , , made it difficult to sleep. The room felt quite dated , especially the bathroom, which could definitely use an update.

The breakfast offered a satisfactory selection of items. I found the location to be quite convenient. The reception staff helped book a taxi for me.
The room felt quite small. The air conditioning looked to be centrally controlled with limited adjustment options. The shower cubicle had a small size.
