poor food qualitynightclub noise
The food was a letdown (i expected better, honestly). the buffet seemed to focus on quantity over quality. also, there was a nightclub nearby that blasted music until the early hours. I had trouble sleeping some nights. it was a major nuisance.

the rooms were very clean on a daily basis. the staff were lovely and willing to help in every way. the rooms were super clean and cleaned on a daily basis. i enjoyed my stay here so much, i am already looking forward to returning in the future.
the buffet was catered to more european, it was lacking at lunchtimes though. i am not allowed drinks in and must buy them once inside. it feels a bit frustrating.
