I enjoyed the fresh orange juice and traditional broa bread. Breakfast was worth it. I also received a light meal for a very early flight.

low clearance parking tasteless breakfast

the receptionist was very friendly and helpful (it really made the check-in process smooth).

the underground parking had a low clearance. we couldn't fit our car there, so it was an inconvenience. also, the beds were too soft, and the breakfast was lacking taste.

window leak dirty floor

The staff was helpful and I got assistance with extra towels I required.

My room showed age and there was a leak at the window, this was disappointing. I also found that my room safe was not functional and this was not satisfactory. I observed poor cleaning standards at breakfast with dirty floors.
