the room was clean , a fact i did appreciate.
The heating barely worked. the lack of proper temperature control impacted my sleep quality significantly. additionally , the coffee from the breakfast machine was undrinkable . It tasted weak and artificial.

The room was roomy and well maintained. the bathroom was up to what I would expect. the breakfast was good. It was included in the price.
the room was 24c when i checked in. i turned the air conditioning on and the temp went up to 26.5c. i really feel i should be compensated for this poor experience.
