Breakfast menu could include hot food, and probably not impacting costs. Gym could have some weights to bring more choices to the customers. Carpet on halway had stains and dark spots. Excellent service, very kind staff, with the culture of supporting the guests.

the room was clean and modernized except for the bathroom. The staff was friendly and ok. The elevator to the fifth floor wasnt working so you had to take stairs to the fourth floor to go down that was definately an inconvience and wasnt told when you checked in found out when we tried to go downstairs.

The room: The room was spacious and had an iron, a fridge, a TV, and a coffee machine, which was excellent. The bed was king-size. We stayed in room 514, and at least in our room, the mattress was not in good condition, as it was sunken in the middle, creating a V shape. It did not allow me to rest well, as I kept waking up with a sore back. The breakfast: There are fruits, cereals, boiled eggs, muffins, crepes, juice, and coffee. It is not a full continental breakfast, but you can bring your own cheese, ham, tomatoes, or other food to complement it. The amenities: The fitness room is tiny, with only a few cardio machines. The pool and spa are nice, especially when the weather is cold outside. Overall: Considering that this is one of the most affordable hotels in the city, I give it a good rating.
