The location was acceptable and allowed easy access to many sites.

The room was quite small. It lacked air conditioning , made sleeping difficult especially since the fan provided was not very effective. The breakfast was also disappointing with limited gluten-free options and cross-contamination issues making it hard to enjoy the meal
