convenient location, but some disappointments

dated room street noise

the location is certainly convenient. however, my "beautiful room" felt a bit dated. the air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool enough. the noise from the street was quite noticeable, even with the windows closed. the breakfast buffet was okay, but it felt overpriced for the selection available.

the hotel gave my family adjoining rooms, and that was super convenient! our rooms felt huge and the bathrooms had so much space! i also noticed the bathtubs have cool glass doors and the water pressure felt amazing. breakfast was included with our room and had a big buffet full of greek yogurt, fruits, meats, and hot dishes like eggs and sausages!

i noticed the bar downstairs seemed quite modern, but i didn't actually get a chance to grab any drinks there.
