i found the location very convenient. breakfast was great with plentiful food and good variety (especially the omelet station!). staff managed seating and turnover efficiently.
my room lacked a fan, and the window only opened a crack. this resulted in poor ventilation, causing the room to feel excessively hot, even with normal temperatures outside.
