Breakfast offered views I could stand behind.

My room turned out a bit of a disaster. The air conditioning barely functioned. It mostly just blew warm air around. The minibar was also on the fritz. It kept my drinks at more of a tepid temperature than a refreshingly cold one.

Mediocre stay

poor insulationbreakfast selection

The room felt quite cramped, especially with luggage. The noise level was something else. I could hear everything from adjacent rooms. The sound insulation needs improvement because I could clearly hear conversations and other disturbances. This impacted my ability to rest well.
