Acceptable Stay with Breakfast Issues

convenient locationcentral train stationbreakfast servicecircular stairs

The location proved convenient for my brief visit. It was attached to the central train station.

The breakfast service was chaotic. Staff didn't direct guests to the buffet upstairs, requiring me to carry items down circular stairs. I even found dirty plates stacked on my table after going to get food!

ineffective air conditioningcramped family room

my room was a bit of a letdown. the air conditioning was practically nonexistent, so it was uncomfortably warm during the day. the family room felt cramped for two adults and two kids. i had to request a fan to try to cool down the space, but it wasn't very effective.
