The hotel room was clean and well equipped. The only negative was that the noise from the adjoining room sounded as though it was in ours as only a thin door separated the two. Based on the few people at the free breakfast, I suspec that the hotel likely was not very full, and I am not sure that the clientelle needed to be in adjoining rooms. Regardless, when the people in the adjoining room conversationally, it sounded as though they might have been in ours. Breakfast was very spartan, mostly cereal and cold pastries. They did have hard-boiled eggs that had been refrigerated. Overall, I gave the hotel four stars because I thought that it was reasonably priced and managed, but not nice enough to warrant more stars.
