Acceptable Stay. Issues Noted

poor soundproofinglimited breakfast

The breakfast was quite disappointing. It lacked basic options. I expected better coffee and egg choices at a hotel of this level, but those were missing. the soundproofing was poor, so I clearly heard conversations from the neighboring room. I would have appreciated better noise insulation and improved breakfast selection.
