Mixed feelings about the stay

slow check-in weak wi-fi
The breakfast tasted good (especially the bread!).
I found some issues . The check-in was slow. ONE person worked on it. I requested a late check-out, but the staff said no. They seemed inflexible. The Wi-Fi signal was very weak in the room. I could hardly browse.
