weak air conditioning limited breakfast

the air conditioning was quite weak it barely cooled the room down i had to ask for a fan which helped a little the breakfast buffet had limited options and some items ran out quickly the dining area felt cramped during peak hours. i really wanted a good breakfast but it was just disappointing. i think they need to improve on this aspect for a more comfortable stay

cool ac modern furnishing standard range twin bed stuck plug

the room was nice, CLEAN and comfy. it had modern furnishings and cool AC. the breakfast offered a standard range.

then the room wasn't as expected with twin beds when a double was booked. staff said everything was booked out so nothing they could do. the plug in the basin got stuck shut stopping me from using it without flooding the bathroom
