fresh selectionpartial cleaningmissing towels
The breakfast selection was fresh with cooked items plus fruit.
The room was not cleaned properly one day, disappointing. I had to remind staff at 6:30 PM after a long day, then it was only partially cleaned. Some towels, toilet paper, and tissues were missing. This required a trip back to reception.

i was a bit disappointed with the balcony, it overlooked the river, but it wasn't very clean. the wood and railing seemed a bit worn. the room had a strange smell. i think it smelled like dog wee, i am not sure what it was though
