Some Issues Detracted From the Stay

poor soundproofing basic breakfast
The noise insulation was NOT good. I could hear everything happening in the neighboring rooms. This included conversations and tv sounds, really annoying late at night (i was very tired). the breakfast buffet seemed pretty basic. It felt more like eating in a cafeteria than a nice restaurant.
