My room was one of the rooms outside the main building. The wi-fi did not reach there with an issue. This impacted my ability to work effectively .

the breakfast met my expectations with the variety of options.
The wifi barely worked in my room, a major inconvenience. also, the noise from outside was quite disruptive. Traffic kept me awake most of the night. the shower had very low pressure, it was almost impossible to rinse properly.
