a pleasant visit

good breakfastattentive staffdinner experiencelocation connection
i found the breakfast quite good. there were a lot of options to choose from. the staff were very attentive and pleasant. there is a taxi stand right in front of the building..
the dinner at the restaurant did not meet my expectations. i also noticed the location, while good, was not perfect. we had higher expectations for the on-site dining experience. we thought the location could be better connected.
