average stay, some issues noted
excel accessbroken air conditioninghygiene concerns
the location suited my needs for excel access, it was a brief walk.
The room was too warm. The air conditioning did not function. i requested a fan, it took two hours to arrive after multiple requests. This was unacceptable. also, i found breakfast disappointing, the orange juice had flies. This raised serious hygiene concerns.

the room had a tea and coffee machine. it also featured a big tv. the bed was very comfortable.
the toilet lacked a wash basin , this made hand washing inconvenient. the room had little natural light , so it felt dark. the carpet had red stains , which detracted from the room's appearance.
