Simple yet satisfying breakfast food
The breakfast offering was quite basic yet rewarding. Guests were able to enjoy the full continental breakfast, which includes muffins, eggs, yogurts, pancakes, cereals, juices, and coffee. It was better compared to other competitions within the area according to most guests.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Small breakfast area
Guests had issues with the small breakfast room on-site. There were only a few seats provided per table so it was quite hard for large families with kids to enjoy breakfast together at the same table. Some guests even had to finish breakfast quickly to make way for other guests.
negative:
Soundproofing is quite poor
There are different noises that can be heard in the rooms according to most guests. The loud talking from people at the other rooms was quite irritating. Guests can hear almost the whole conversation due to the thin wall design. Therefore, guests are advised to wear earplugs.
negative:
Poor quality of beds and pillows
There were only two pillows per bed inside every room. The bed’s quality was quite poor so most guest were displeased and had a hard time getting some proper sleep and rest. Furthermore, the pillows were too flat.
