Underwhelming Stay. Not Worth the Cost.

poor soundproofingsubpar breakfast
The room layout was odd. The sink was in the main room, while the shower and toilet were separate. This. The breakfast buffet seemed subpar. It lacked the variety I expect from a hotel. the noise was excessive. Soundproofing was poor, and I could hear everything from the corridor. I really didn't get a good night's sleep because of it.
