mixed bag of experiences
slow replenishment cold staff
The breakfast service felt lackluster. staff seemed distant, and simple requests like butter or jam required multiple asks. replenishing items was slow. the room view was disappointing. It faced another room and a road, despite my request for a better view (i suppose i'm just unlucky).
