noticeable noisedisorganized breakfast
I encountered a couple of issues that were disappointing. the room lacked sufficient soundproofing, and street noise was quite noticeable late into the night. This made getting a good night's sleep rather difficult. the breakfast service was somewhat disorganized. There were delays in fulfilling orders, and some items were not available as listed on the menu. This created some frustration during breakfast.
