poor quality food allergies
the breakfast presented itself with certain deficiencies. the quality proved subpar, and i observed a distinct shortage of options suitable for those with food allergies. the unavailability of suitable alternatives is a demonstrable oversight, a matter i deem unacceptable for an hotel with purported standards.
