Building in general is fine and clean with two good service elevator. Room was also good but bathroom was terrible. Bathroom's door was hardly to close/ open that result in very noisy sound. This distracts the sleep. Also toilet was moving while in use. It needs to be fixed. House keeping staff just replaced the towels but they neither make the bed, nor replacing Lenin or cleaning floors. Open buffet breakfast was ok.
