a mixed experience
small roomlimited breakfast
The room i got initially was quite disappointing. it felt smaller than advertised, and the view was almost non-existent. Just a peek at a wall. also, the breakfast selection felt a bit limited. i was hoping for more variety in the fruit and pastry options, but it was mostly the same each day.
