Mixed Experience at the Hotel

loud environmentlimited breakfast
I had a few issues . The room lacked adequate soundproofing. I could clearly hear noise from the street and a nearby bar late into the night. This. the breakfast buffet offered limited options, particularly the absence of fresh fruit was disappointing.
