the room was clean and the bathroom was functional.
The breakfast lacked variety. I found the ingredients to be of low quality. the dining room felt uninviting, and i noted the cooked breakfast arrived before i finished my cornflakes. additionally, the staff seemed to require further training in proper hotel service.
