The breakfast had many options. I found the food to be fresh and tasty. The location is great. A bus stop to the city is right across the street. It was easy to get around.
Our room had some issues with the air conditioning. It made a loud noise. I showed a video to the receptionist before they believed me.

The provided Wi-Fi was not good. Speeds barely reached 2 Mbps, even after I told the reception. They said that speed was normal. I could not find any switch for the bathroom ventilation. I don't think it worked. The ventilation was bad.
