Liked: Cleanliness
Unfortunately the property is doing major renovations and were extremely loud right above our room. We were not advised about possible noise when booking, even though we booked just a week before our stay. Free continental breakfast was a joke. I wouldn't advise depending on it. We walked out and bought our own meal at a local cafe.

My room was clean but the AC unit could get quite loud when it was turned on and it was noticeable especially at night with occasional banging sounds, the wifi was also a bit spotty as I had a hard time staying connected while on online meetings.
