the breakfast was complete and tasty. you may have to wait a few minutes for a table sometimes. it was no big deal though.
the room was on the first floor. i had to keep the blinds closed for privacy! there was a bus terminal right outside! it was loud all night. that was so frustrating.

slow check-inconstant beeping
Check-in was slow. It took almost an hour. my room faced a safeway store. trucks were delivering goods throughout the night, and the beeping was constant. this made it really hard to sleep properly, and i found that to be very frustrating

The breakfast buffet had a wide array of options and the staff worked hard. The staff cleaned constantly and refilled food dishes quickly. The food was hot and delicious (especially the omelets!).
Check-in took a long time, I waited over 40 minutes. The hotel charges a resort fee for amenities. This fee covers WiFi, pool access, and the fitness center.
