basic stay with some issues
included breakfastsmall roominconsistent water temperature
the included breakfast was acceptable.
The room was very small. i also had issues with the shared toilet. It wasn't clean (i'm not exaggerating). the shower was difficult to use due to inconsistent water temperature. i spent a frustrating night.
