Acceptable, but with definite drawbacks
extensive buffetpoor air conditioningstorage fee
The breakfast buffet was extensive with A LOT of options.
The air conditioning in my room barely worked. It struggled to cool the space. The maintenance staff declared it fixed, but the temperature remained uncomfortably high. bag storage incurred a fee PER night, unexpected and a bit IRRITATING.

I found the breakfast offered a HUGE variety of dishes. Drinks fruits and pastries were plentiful. I think you could find anything you like. The staff was very helpful and nice.
I found i could hear everything in my room. I could hear conversations and babies crying from the family next door. This disturbed me the entire time i was in my room. This stay was a little disappointing.

The breakfast had many options to choose from, so that was alright.
The room had a stale smell. I was charged extra for checking out just 15 minutes late. the guest at the next desk was not charged anything, so this seemed unfair and arbitrary to me.
