the room was clean, as was the bathroom, which met my basic expectations.

the room was not serviced during my four-night stay, despite assurances to the contrary. furthermore, i found the quality and variety of the breakfast to be lacking given its price. it is unacceptable to offer so little for the price demanded. it's important that services promised are actually delivered.
