my stay had a few issues. the breakfast began quite late, at 7 am, for early travelers. i found the scrambled eggs were served cold, disappointing. also, the hotel parking felt expensive, and the pricing wasn't clearly advertised.

My room was not very good. The air conditioning didn't seem to work well, so it was hot at night. I hate the bad air conditioning system. Plus, the sink drained slowly. I think the shower head needs replacing. It wasn't very good compared to other parts of the room.
