somewhat disappointed with my stay

small roomstale pastries
the room was FAR too small. I also discovered the television had very limited channels. i expected more for the price i paid, AND the breakfast was quite underwhelming. the pastries tasted stale, and the hot items were barely warm. the overall experience felt substandard for a place that projects a higher standard.

Mixed experience, some issues noted

friendly receptionistcheap mattressuncomfortable bed
the receptionist was friendly upon arrival, a positive start to the stay.
The mattress was cheap and uncomfortable. A decent mattress or even a topper is a basic need hotels should address. this impacted the quality of sleep and the overall experience negatively. investing in better beds is essential.
