the staff were friendly enough that i interacted with
the room was close to the kitchen so fans ran late into the night it was quite distracting i also noticed light seeping in from both the door and the windows it made it difficult to get the room dark enough to sleep well the breakfast was minimal just a wrapped pastry and a biscuit which was disappointing

the room faced some challenges. noise from an adjacent hotel persisted late into the night. the provision of a light breakfast in the room seemed somewhat uninspired. it consisted of pre-packaged items only.
