Mixed Feelings About This Stay

noisy air conditioningbasic breakfast
The room was alright, I guess, but the air conditioning made a racket. It was hard to sleep because of the constant noise. the breakfast was pretty basic. I've seen better spreads at a roadside motel! I was expecting more, especially considering the price.

adequate stay with some issues

limited breakfast varietyuncomfortable room temperature
i found a few things lacking . the air conditioning in the room struggled to maintain a comfortable temperature. this resulted in some restless nights. also the variety at breakfast felt limited, especially considering the price point of the hotel. i expected more options for a supposedly four-star hotel. there was a cockroach in the bathroom but i didn't even have energy to care about that.
