limited viewmeager breakfast
The view from my room left much to be desired. It faced directly into another room. Privacy was minimal. I also found storage options to be severely lacking. There was no chest of drawers or even a simple table. The so-called included breakfast was laughable with meager offerings in a charmless room.
