superb breakfast kind staff small pool ambient sound

The breakfast was superb, with a wide variety of options. the hotel room was very clean. This. i found the location fantastic, especially its proximity to the airport. the staff at the restaurant were also very kind.

The pool was described as large, but i found it rather small. a significant portion of it is very shallow. This made swimming difficult. loud ambient sound from outside the room could be heard day and night. This. i wished they had better soundproofing.
