i found the staff excellent and very helpful. the room was good, clean and efficient. the breakfast was quite nice too (i liked the croissants).
the room was small, so small it was almost funny. the air conditioning made a noise, yet the room remained warm. the wardrobe could not close with coat hangers inside.
