old decor basic breakfast

The room was clean, but the decor felt a little old. Cobwebs were in the corners and on the light fixtures. the breakfast was very basic. No one offered more juice or coffee. I expected a bit more from my stay. It just wasn't quite as polished as I hoped for considering the other positive reviews.

mixed feelings, expected more

small portion traffic noise

I noticed a distinct lack of vegetables with my meal. the portion size was a bit small too. it's disappointing when you expect a satisfying meal and it doesn't quite hit the mark. i also found the windows offered little noise insulation. The constant traffic made sleep difficult even with earplugs.

Acceptable Stay with Disappointing Aspects

road noise sleeping trouble

The restaurant had appealing decoration.

The room faced a very busy road. I had significant trouble sleeping because of the constant noise from passing cars and trucks. I did not expect this level of disturbance despite the ear plugs I used.

small portion vegetable absence

The room was fine I suppose. I had dinner at the hotel. The portion size was a bit disappointing. There was a distinct lack of vegetables. I skipped dinner and breakfast the next day.
