the breakfast buffet provided many options.
the air conditioning in my room did not function well, causing discomfort as i slept without pajamas in an attempt to stay cool (i did report this to the front desk, but it was never fixed). additionally, i had to almost beg to get a refrigerator for the room, as they said only a few were available despite the space for one being present.
