good breakfastsmall bathroomtrip hazard
the breakfast was very good and served quickly, this was something i appreciated.
i was a little disappointed because my bathroom was small, the shower cubicle even smaller and there was a six inch step into it. i think, this is a trip hazard for sure and is dangerous. i don't know how they got building regulations approval for it.
