The breakfast was varied, but it did not have enough unsweetened options. the juices were overly sweet. The peach juice tasted like iced tea. there was a strong, unpleasant odor, like sewage, sometimes. the plumbing was a bit damaged. The bathroom faucet made noise. i am not sure it is what one would expect from a four-star hotel.
