Satisfactory Experience
vegan optionsbreakfast roompolite staffno air conditioningikea furniturehigh price
The breakfast room looked beautiful. Vegan breakfast options were available. This was a definite plus. All staff members were polite.
There was no air conditioning in the room. I found the furniture to resemble cheap student housing with Ikea furniture. The room was not worth the price.
