the breakfast had good varieties available at a reasonable price.
the air conditioning was not functional , it was set to heating instead. the "double bed" was two single beds pushed together, i found the pillows too soft for my liking.

My room included a very clean bathroom. the staff were excellent and sweet with my children. marie and mohammed were standouts. They were particularly helpful. the kids section of the breakfast also provided toys.
I found that the mattress and pillows were not comfortable because they were too soft. It was like sinking into them. the pillow was like it wasn't even there. this affected sleep quality.
