a reasonable experience

helpful staff good sized en suite early breakfast terrible wifi

I found the staff quite helpful and efficient. They addressed my queries promptly. the en suite was a good size. it had both a bath and a shower as well as decent soaps and shampoos.

the breakfast was a bit early for me. it ended at 9am. i would have liked a later option. the wifi was really terrible in the room i stayed in. i was unable to sit at the desk and work effectively.

average stay

the room was adequately clean and reasonably comfortable.

The wifi connection was unacceptable. I could not work from my room. i expect reliable internet access, and its absence was a problem. this needs immediate attention.
