Decent stay with minor issues

helpful staff good lighting clean linen noisy lounge inflexible service no air conditioning

The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Breakfast included a good variety of choices. The room had good lighting (a detail I appreciate). The bed linen and towels were clean.

My room was above the lounge, so I could hear the entertainment.

food selection excellent service helpful staff kind receptionist

The food selection at meal times was quite good. The service at the table was excellent. The staff were always willing to help me. The receptionist rose was so helpful and very kind.
