room size could be better
friendly staff buffet breakfast small room random hairs
the hotel staff displayed friendliness. the location made it easy to reach the city center. i enjoyed the buffet breakfast, it had a convenient selection.
The room was not as spacious as i had hoped. this made moving around with luggage somewhat difficult. random hairs were on the floor. The room was not super clean.
