The breakfast was acceptable and filled me up before my day.

The room felt quite cold. I expected better heating. The temperature was noticeably low. the advertised bar was not open. I hoped to relax there in the evening, but it remained closed throughout my stay.

Breakfast was cooked to order and tasted good.

The shower was coming off the wall. It had large water leak marks. The wardrobe was too small, so I couldn't hang up a shirt and close the door. I almost moved hotels.
