Sunny and Pam were helpful at the front desk. The two persons at the reception were informed and ensured that our stay is pleasant. For breakfast, had there been an arrangement for toasting slices of a bread with arrangements for butter, it would have been further better. The lighting in the room could be improved and availability of glass or ceramic cups would have made our stay still better.

Average stay, above average price

Cleanliness is rather average. Not dirty, but not completely shiny. Especially when specifically asked for 4 people's supplies by black & white messages and was replied positively; resulted only the common 2 person supplies were provided. Grab & Go Breakfast was understandable but was the worst I have encountered by far. There were not even bakery products supplied, only muffin, fruits and drinks; would rather call that "Refreshments provided" than "Breakfast".
