small room repetitive breakfast
the room i got was unbelievably small!!! i booked a 'standard double room,' but it felt more like an economy closet. honestly, i have booked standard rooms before, and this was far from it. also, the breakfast was repetitive. the same items were served every single day. it was a real letdown after a few days.
