insufficient lightinglimited fruit selection
I was a bit let down by a couple of things. the lighting in the bathroom was insufficient. It made shaving difficult. also, the breakfast felt a bit basic. i had expected a wider variety of options. the fruit selection felt limited, and the pastries were quite stale.

mostly polite staffloose shower headunderstaffed breakfast
The room seemed clean at first glance and the staff were mostly polite.
I found several issues overlooked . The shower head was loose. the breakfast service was understaffed. Many guests were waiting extended periods for their orders and I feel the overall experience suffered.
