Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

good breakfast selectionlow water pressureearly morning disturbance
The breakfast was okay with a good selection.
The shower had terribly low water pressure, though there was hot water. Around 5 AM, shouting and arguing woke us up. It sounded like the next room. This was annoying.
