torn net curtain fried breakfast
The net curtain in my room had several large rips. It didn't give a great first impression. the breakfast buffet was also subpar. Everything looked like it had been fried. it seemed like a bit of a letdown given the price of the room! the toast was served on the same plate as the cooked breakfast, just odd.
