mediocre stay

limited selectionpoor attentiveness
the breakfast selection was severely limited. i also found the staff's approach during breakfast service to be lacking in attentiveness. the coffee and tea were basic, and requests seemed to inconvenience the staff. this made the morning meal less than enjoyable.
