The breakfast was nothing special , i think they could offer more hot options besides just bacon and eggs. also , the noise was a real issue . You could hear every little creak from the floors above. the decor felt outdated , and the breakfast area was too cramped , it was not relaxing at all.

the staff were very helpful with lots of information about the city. the shower was very nice, very glamorous! i found the pillows to be good.
there was no fridge (though stated in other reviews and responses). i couldn't open the window because of mosquitoes, so a fridge would have been nice. i had to keep the bathroom door closed as there was an awful smell of drains throughout my whole stay.
