basic stay with SOME issues

threadbare carpetsmall plates
The room felt quite dated. i noticed threadbare carpet in the hallways. the breakfast setup was odd. Coffee was at one end of the room and cereal at the other, so getting a coffee before finding a cup was A challenge. also, the plates for toast were too small. Buttering two slices became quite tricky.

the breakfast offered various options. however, the menu felt quite restrictive and could have used more variety like fresh fruit and pastries. the food quality varied a bit from day to day.
