adequate, but some issues need addressing

overcooked bacon cold beans

the location was central, a short walk to many attractions.

The breakfast experience was disappointing. i arrived around 9:30 am, and many items were already gone. sausages were not ready, the bacon seemed overcooked, and the beans were cold. it reminded me of i was bothering the staff when i asked for cutlery. It was not a pleasant experience considering the price i paid for the stay
