underwhelming stay
convenient locationfabric stainsdisorganized breakfast
the location proved convenient enough for the purposes of my visit.
however, the room did not live up to expectations regarding cleanliness.. i noticed some stains on the fabric surrounding the bed. furthermore, the breakfast service seemed disorganized, with long wait times for what should have been a quick meal. finally, the advertised playground was rather run-down, with some of the equipment showing signs of wear and tear.

the shower lacked proper ventilation and the room felt a bit humid, not ideal. The bed did not provide good back support.
