rude staff basic breakfast
I asked for an early check-in. It was approved beforehand. Upon arrival, the staff told me rudely that early check-in was impossible. I needed to be up early for a sporting event. I asked for a packed breakfast but was told it was not possible in any form. Breakfast itself was disappointing. The eggs benedict was very basic and the poached eggs hard.
