adequate stay, some issues noticed

small room disorganized service

the location was convenient for my needs.

The room i occupied was smaller than expected. the view from the window was not appealing. It overlooked a concrete ledge covered in rubbish. additionally, the breakfast service felt somewhat disorganized. They forgot several items i requested despite the detailed menu.
