unhelpful staff bright skylight

the location was acceptable because it was close to a bus stop.

the staff member i encountered was not helpful, especially with my luggage. i had to struggle with heavy bags and doors without any assistance. also the room had a skylight that i could not close so it was difficult to sleep with the bright light.

pastries selection large bathroom

the hotel was easy to access by bus from the airport, a feature i liked. the breakfast included a decent selection of pastries and hot items, a good way to start the day. i found the room had sufficient space with family. a large bathroom added more convenience.

my room felt a bit warm at times, and i wasn't able to adjust the temperature.
