limited variety poor soundproofing
I had a bit of a frustrating experience . The breakfast selection seemed VERY limited. It really lacked variety. the room wasn't as soundproofed as I'd hoped. I could clearly hear conversations from the adjacent room, which wasn't exactly conducive to a relaxing stay. I think some improvements in these areas would greatly enhance the guest experience.
