adequate but needs improvements

slow breakfastsewage smell
the breakfast service was quite slow. i waited a long time for my cooked breakfast, about thirty-five minutes. it then arrived cold, which wasn't ideal. the hotel feels like it needs some maintenance, especially in the bathroom where i noticed a sewage smell.
