slow breakfast service unstable shower door

the on site car parking was acceptable due its convenience in the middle of town.

the breakfast service was slow on the first day, and i received my simple cooked breakfast nearly half an hour after ordering. the serving size for the price i paid felt quite stingy. additionally, i informed the desk about some loose stair rods leading to the breakfast room, but they remained unfixed the next day. also, the shower door felt unstable and threatened to fall off.

limited options outdated equipment

The breakfast buffet did not include many gluten-free options. I found only fruit and yogurt available. this limited my choices considerably and was quite disappointing. also, the gym was smaller than expected. it only had one treadmill and a set of dumbbells.
