Excellent food and attentive service

comfortable bed soft pillows friendly staff excellent choice
The room include a comfortable bed. It has soft pillows that provided good sleep. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I appreciated the excellent choice for breakfast and tasty food. I did like the special half-price offer that was available at that time.
The room faced a noisy street, and traffic sounds was audible at night. This disturbance made it slightly difficult to fall asleep quickly. Perhaps earplugs would help avoid external noise.

The breakfast was acceptable. I found it edible.
Room service was questionable. The promised ironing board never arrived, and the replacement lightbulb took three calls and half a day to appear. The minibar was also empty. I expected at least water.
