An Adequate Stay

undercooked baconunexpected pool occupation
The breakfast service felt a bit disorganized I noticed a definite decline in quality mid-stay as table service replaced the buffet I paid for. The waiter just stared when I mentioned the bacon was undercooked he didn't offer a replacement. the pool was unexpectedly occupied by a swim school it wasn't ideal as a hotel guest.
