small roomwatery juice

the room itself seemed smaller than the photos suggested. also, the promised city view was mostly obscured by another building. i booked breakfast, but the buffet was basic, and some items looked like they had been sitting out for a while. the fruit wasn't fresh at all. the juice was watery.
