minimal soundproofingslow breakfast
I must note, the experience did have its setbacks. The soundproofing was minimal. Noise from adjacent rooms disrupted sleep. the breakfast service was slow ONE morning. It took an unacceptable amount of time for a simple order of toast to arrive. I expect quicker service.
