Breakfast was a bit chaotic. It was hard to find a seat. the air conditioning was tricky. I struggled to adjust it. the window was frosted, so the room felt dark. It was disappointing.

A Mixed Experience..

bathroom stainslow meal
The room I was assigned felt a bit underwhelming. There was a noticeable stain on the bathroom door. Breakfast service felt disorganized and slow. It took an unreasonable amount of time. I waited far too long for what should have been a quick meal.
