clean roompoor breakfast servicelacking management
the room was clean and the bed was comfortable enough.
the breakfast service was quite poor. there were no cups or glasses available initially. also, coffee machines were not in use, and a water boiler ran out of water quickly. management seemed lacking, and the restaurant felt disorganized.

a few issues

clean roomunsocial staffmissing amenities
The room was super clean and cozy enough. It was generally acceptable.
I was disappointed to find that there were no spare pillows in the room. I needed to request them. also, the staff i encountered weren't particularly social. A warmer welcome would have improved my experience. i also think an iron in the room would have been useful.
