Decent Stay with Some Issues
convenient breakfastcentral locationquiet roomslow check-inseparate floorssee-through bathroom
The provided breakfast was convenient (especially the coffee). Its inclusion certainly added value to my stay. The hotel's location allowed easy access to the attractions. The room I was in was also quiet, which ensured a restful night.
I experienced slow check-in when I arrived. I had requested a room close to my colleagues, but our rooms ended up being on different floors. The bathroom setup was also not ideal. The see-through design offered little privacy when sharing the room.
