Average Hotel with Some Issues

poor breakfast service strange smell

The breakfast service was quite poor. It was very crowded. Getting coffee or tea at the table was not possible. The room was also too cold. It had a strange smell when I first entered it. I think the hotel could improve these details to offer guests a better experience.
