mixed feelings about my stay.

great breakfastcleaning crew's cartthin walls
The breakfast had a lot of variety. It was pretty good.
The cleaning staff left their cart right outside my door for days. It was annoying. also, i could hear everything my neighbors said. The walls are way too thin, and it woke me up every night. this isn't the kind of thing i'd expect from a hotel at this price.
