some issues impacted my stay

limited selectionloud hallway
I found the breakfast to be quite underwhelming. the selection seemed limited, and the quality was not what i expected for a hotel of this standard. also, the noise levels in the hallway were disruptive. I could hear doors slamming and conversations late into the night, it was quite annoying.

The breakfast offered a wide choice. Staff members were friendly. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable..
Early morning noise was disruptive. I heard a lot of slamming doors on the hallway after 7:30. The cleaning was below average and didn't even take away the dirty glasses.
