small bathroom crowded breakfast

My stay wasn't as smooth as i hoped. the bathroom was quite small. there wasn't much space to move around and the shower was a bit cramped. also, the breakfast area got very crowded, especially around 9 am. It was difficult to find a seat and the noise level was high.
