mixed feelings about this stay

convenient locationpoor cleaningrushed service

the location was convenient, offering easy access to nearby attractions.

i found the room cleaning to be below expectations, particularly regarding dust. dust was noticeable on surfaces and in corners, affecting the overall comfort. also, the breakfast service felt a bit rushed.. i felt pressured to finish quickly. the staff seemed over-attentive.
