limited selection cramped space

The BREAKFAST was a let down. The selection seemed limited, and some items tasted stale. i also found the room SMALLER than expected, barely enough space to move around comfortably. the lack of storage made it hard to keep my luggage organized. It was DIFFICULT to relax fully in such a cramped space.
