adequate stay with some issues

inconsistent shower pressure freezing temperature
the breakfast included a good choice of foods.
the shower pressure was inconsistent, fluctuating between good and bad. the temperature also varied from hot to freezing. this made showering quite unpleasant and difficult to regulate.
