Average stay. Some issues

small roomoverpriced breakfast
The room felt quite small. it lacked storage. i found only a few hangers and no proper cupboard. That was unhandy. also, the breakfast cost extra, something i wasn't expecting. It felt overpriced for what was offered.

The staff had a friendly attitude. The room included comfy beds. Its location proved excellent for exploring the city center. I found it convenient. I enjoyed the bar in the foyer. It was nice.
The room got too hot. The cleanliness was not fully acceptable. I saw stains on the toilet seat. I found only cardboard cups instead of normal ones. This was not ideal for a long stay.

The bed was not very comfortable I woke with a sore back. The television had limited channels also. I could not use my Fire Stick because the source button did not work properly. I think it was overpriced for the quality of my stay.
