decent equipmentinattentive staffsmoking area

The hotel was clean and decently equipped , as expected.

The breakfast service was not great , staff did not seem particularly attentive. I ended up grabbing cutlery off another table indoors , since we were not given any when seated outside. Smoking was allowed at the doors to the breakfast area , so I had to breathe in smoke.
