mixed feelings about this hotel

dim lightingslow service

I found some issues . the lighting in the room was not good. it was too dim, even with all the lights on. it made it hard to read or work in the room. also, the breakfast service was quite slow. On one morning, i waited almost 30 minutes for my order. this delay was frustrating when i had planned a morning activity.
