the breakfast had some good stuff. it included scrambled eggs. a granola and yogurt option was too on offer. the staff seemed really lovely. they were helpful and accommodating to the guests. the bed was really comfy, it makes for a nice sleep.

the elevator it felt very small and slow. its not convenient if you are travelling with a family with multiple luggages. cleaning wasnt great. the bathroom was not very clean i felt. coffee was not refilled. we had to pay to get water.
