limited breakfast variety noisy road
The location was indeed convenient, close to many attractions. I appreciated the modern decor in the rooms. the breakfast selection was somewhat limited. The automatic coffee machine was the only free option and a proper coffee was extra. This felt stingy for a hotel in this category. I also found the road-facing rooms to be quite noisy, impacting sleep quality.
