quality options convenient location soft mattress air conditioning

The breakfast was comprehensive. it included a vast array of high quality options. the location is convenient. It is not far from the center. i walked to many main attractions (it was enjoyable).

the mattress was too soft. i was like i was sleeping in a hole in the middle of the bed. there was no air conditioning in the room, that was unfortunate (i needed it).

quiet area relaxing music ping pong table useful option

i was impressed by the breakfast area downstairs, it was a very calming way to begin the day. relaxing music and video played. the ping pong table was a fun surprise. the option to hire an umbrella proved useful .

The loud bang every time a room door closed was slightly disruptive. It echoed through the hallways.
