the breakfast had variety and the staff were kind. i had the staff prepare coffee with special ingredients. i also spent time in the lobby bar and the staff were friendly. the piano music played on the weekend by frank was enjoyable.
the air conditioning wasn't effective as the room temperature stayed high. it seemed to function more like a ventilator. also, it didn't operate between 9 pm and 8 am so the room didn't cool down.
