late night music slow breakfast
the noise from the adjacent music venue persisted until the early hours. This made it very difficult to sleep, despite the earplugs provided. the breakfast service was rather slow. I waited an unreasonable amount of time for my order. the staff did not offer a sincere apology for this delay.
