rock hard pastry smoking room smell

The receptionist was helpful. I appreciate that.

the menu felt quite limited. the first night, my meal included pastry. it was unfortunately rock hard, and the beans at breakfast were dried out. the room smelled like it had been a smoking room despite being non-smoking.
