Mixed Experience. Room for Improvement

light sensorsalty omelet
The bathroom light sensor was a real nuisance. The bedroom windows did not open so ventilation depended on keeping the bathroom door open. This caused the bathroom light to activate repeatedly at night disrupting my sleep. the breakfast omelet I ordered was a bit too salty, I'd say.

tasty chowderclean room
The staff offered a packed lunch as I left early for the ferry. This was unexpected. Our dinner included tasty seafood chowder. This was the best i tasted. The room was quiet and very clean.
The windows in the bedroom didnt open. The light sensor kept coming on during the night interrupting sleep.

okay breakfastbathroom light sensorpoor customer service
the breakfast was okay (nothing special though).
I was pretty let down by a couple of things. first, the bathroom light had a sensor, it kept switching on and off all night because the bedroom windows didn't open, and i had to keep the bathroom door ajar for some air, interrupting my sleep. the second thing was that the room wasn't cleaned one day even though i was out all day. I didn't get any apology or explanation from the manager.
