slow breakfast serviceinsufficient soundproofing
I found the breakfast service rather slow. On one morning it took an unreasonable amount of time to receive my order. the staff seemed underprepared to handle the morning rush! the room's soundproofing was also insufficient. i could clearly hear conversations and noise from adjacent rooms. this significantly impacted my ability to rest and relax .
