The shower was quite disappointing. The water pressure was low. the bathroom looked somewhat dated and could benefit from a refresh. I also found the Wi-Fi signal unreliable. It kept dropping, inconvenient.

The food was amazing. I especially loved the breakfast. There was a very wide selection. The staff were very friendly and helpful! The room was warm and clean, which I really appreciated.
My room faced the road and it was a bit noisy. I found it hard to sleep well, due to traffic sounds. The room decor felt dated for the price. It needs some work.
