cold beans watered-down juice
The breakfast was a bit underwhelming. Cold beans are never a good start! also, the watered-down juice was a real disappointment. it tasted more like slightly flavored water than actual juice. plus, i found the temperature in the room difficult to adjust. it was either too hot or too cold, which wasn't ideal for a good night's sleep.

The staff were really helpful and quick. i liked how fast the check-in process was and appreciated the friendly service at the bar. the room was clean and had all i needed for a short stay. I slept soundly. the short drive to the airport in the morning was so convenient!
I had a bit of trouble with the vending machine when i tried to buy a snack. it kept rejecting my card. Maybe it needs maintenance.
