The staff was friendly and helpful! The breakfast tasted very good. I also appreciated the large comfortable beds, they provided a restful sleep.
The food choices felt limited, I thought! The bathroom lacked a blind, privacy could be improved. The water pressure in the shower was low, it was not very pleasant.

The restaurant food quality did not meet my expectations. There were very few fresh vegetables available. Most dishes seemed to be primarily fried.
