Really good Stay

perfect amenitiesexcellent breakfastattentive staffpoor soundproofing
The hotel had a wonderful atmosphere. The amenities were perfect. The included breakfast was excellent. Ertugrul, a staff member, was very lovely and helpful. He looked after our luggage so we could explore, and I appreciated that greatly. I am very grateful for his attentiveness.
The room windows, walls, and doors were not very soundproof, a challenge. If someone talked in the corridor, it reminded me of they were in my room. I found it hard to relax because of this noise.

ripped seatsuninterested staff
the airport transfer was late , which i guess is just how it goes sometimes. the seats in the vehicle looked like they had survived a war , old and ripped , a bit rough for the price i paid. also , it reminded me of the staff were competing in a 'who can be the least interested' contest , except for the restaurant guy outside , he was the only one who seemed happy to be there.
