hard pillows breakfast timeframe
the pillows felt very hard (almost like carpet rolls), this made it difficult to sleep comfortably. also, breakfast hours were restricted to between 8:30 and 9:30 am. this short window created a rush, so i experienced a significant wait time (about 25 minutes) for my order. this made it difficult to plan activities, especially hikes that needed an early start.
