The room felt quite stuffy. I also found the shower to be not very clean. I noticed some stains in it. The breakfast was not enjoyable to me. It lacked flavor, and the variety seemed limited. it was just a disappointing start to my day.

the rooms especially the bathroom needs refurbishment. the bathroom ceiling had many cracks and humidity related issues. there was no ventilation for it, which explains the damage. in the shower, there was no courtesy body wash left in the wall fixed container.
