Lounge offers a decent breakfast buffet with European, American and Asian dishes, tiny snacks troughout the day, some appetizers and snacks in the evening as well as a cocktail happy hour in the evening. Also, it does offer free wi-fi internet access.

Strange. They usually have like 30 channels, with the usual channels other hotels offer as well.
