the breakfast buffet was substantial. it was well catered and had accommodating staff.
The location was further from the city center than i expected. A 20-minute walk was longer than advertised. a bus stop near the hotel was convenient. the bus schedule was unreliable. the room lacked soundproofing. I could hear conversations and music from neighboring rooms, disrupting sleep.
