The room was quite small. there was barely any space to move around with luggage. the breakfast lacked variety. The same items were offered every day. the fruit seemed not fresh, and the pastries tasted stale. the staff were polite but not particularly attentive. it seemed like they were going through the motions, but not really connected.
