The room was not warm enough. I often felt cold and the central temperature control was not adjustable. The staff said extra blankets were unavailable. I found this quite disappointing. The spa facilities were also below my expectations.

limited channels distant location
The breakfast had good variety and the restaurant staff was helpful.
The room felt more like a dorm than a hotel room , it was quite basic. I was also disappointed by the limited TV channel selection , I only had access to about five channels. The location is also a bit out of the way , I needed to walk about 3 km to reach downtown.
