i was a bit disappointed that the hotel photos showed a restaurant next door as if it was part of the hotel itself. this made me think breakfast would be available on site, but it was not. also, the towels in my room felt quite old, and the bed made a lot of noise whenever i moved. the shower panel in the bathroom also had cracks.
