the breakfast times were inflexible. breakfast service occurred only between 08:30 and 09:00. this narrow window proved problematic. i needed to leave earlier for planned activities. the timing requires adjustment.

great breakfastsmall roomtiny en-suite
the location was very good, and the breakfast options were great.
my room, a 'double room view', was quite small. the en-suite bathroom felt especially tiny for the price i paid, it was really disappointing. i think they need to rethink the room sizes versus the cost.

adequate stay, some disappointments
small roomrestricted breakfast
The room size felt a bit small. It made moving around somewhat difficult. the breakfast times felt restricted. The 8:30 to 9:00 am window did not work well. I would have liked a bit more flexibility to start my day earlier. It just wasn't ideal for MY schedule, frustrating.
