cold beans misaligned faucet
The location was good. It allowed easy access to nearby restaurants.
I was disappointed with the breakfast though. The beans were cold, and the hash browns tasted like they had been sitting out for a while. the bathroom faucet seemed misaligned (i don't know, maybe it was just my room). water splashed everywhere around the sink. it was just frustrating.
