In all, we ha f a very nice stay, and didn't care about breakfast.
Pros:

The room was updated and clean. Comfortable bed and nice walk in shower. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The breakfast choices were not great. Watery eggs, and sausage that did not look ready to eat, even though it was obviously precooked. We skipped breakfast.

Overall it’s good but it’s just that 1 experience that we encountered in the middle of the night ☹️
Pros:

One of the staff got confused and knock on our door in the middle of the night telling us we are not allocated the term he used for that room…I told him why we have the keys if this is not our room? Our kids telling us this is quite a good hotel mom ..but we just experienced that someone calling our room and after 5mins knocking on our door and saying we are not supposed to be there? That’s the only not good experienced we had when we stay for 2nigjts🫢 but the rest of the staff where friendly and accommodating 👍🏻

Cons:

One of the staff didn’t confirm first before bothering us in the middle of the night that we’re all sleeping ☹️ not a good experienced from all of us that we paid and booked online for reservations and we experienced this that we feel like not welcomed at all☹️🥹
