average stay with some issues

long queues hard beds
the room was clean enough, and the location was good for seeing things.
i really did not like the breakfast situation. there were long queues for tea and coffee, and the food was not replenished quickly. i heard from staff the chef might of been drunk during the service. also, the beds are way too hard, i have had more comfortable nights elsewhere.

subpar cleaning watered-down juice
The location was convenient for exploring the city.
The room cleaning was subpar. I found stray hairs in the bathroom and dust on the furniture. That was a little gross. The breakfast buffet was crowded and the food quality seemed average, at best. THE juice tasted watered down. The pastries tasted stale.
