the breakfast had a rich variety and offered fresh products.
the room felt dusty and seemed like the walls are not often wiped, which aggravated my sinuses EVERYDAY. the coffee station lacked basic necessities like stirring sticks, and only two coffee packets were provided. they also didn't clean the coffee cups.

the hotel has a gym with equipment, its something i guess.
the air conditioning was not working properly, i must say. the room reached twenty-seven degrees at night, a bit too warm, wouldn't you agree? the key card system also malfunctioned regularly, forcing frequent trips to the front desk. the gym, smelled like a zoo, a zoo! and one machine was broken too.
