Adequate stay with some minor drawbacks

extensive buffet helpful staff noisy fan missing fridge

The breakfast buffet was quite extensive, with a good variety of options. I found the staff to be generally friendly and helpful (especially when I needed directions).

The bathroom fan was quite noisy. I also noticed there was no mini fridge in the room, a feature I usually appreciate.
