Satisfactory Experience
vegan options breakfast room polite staff no air conditioning ikea furniture high 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.
