Adequate, but not really good stay.
spacious roomsalty foodpoor coffee
The room was spacious. It was certainly an advantage.
The breakfast was quite disappointing. The hot food was too salty for my taste, I found this quite unpleasant. The coffee was particularly poor and well below what I expect from a hotel of this class.
