The room was very clean upon arrival. The Double Room included adequate space for luggage and personal items (it felt quite spacious).
The absence of an elevator made accessing upper floors difficult with heavy luggage. Breakfast was basic. It lacked variety and options, so I decided to eat outside.

mixed feelings about this stay
noise from hallwaylimited breakfast
The room lacked proper sound insulation. I could clearly hear conversations and noise from the hallway, REALLY disruptive, especially late at night. the breakfast selection was quite limited. There was a small assortment of pastries, but nothing hot was available without an extra charge. I found this disappointing for the price.
