slow servicelimited breakfast

the service felt stretched thin . i often had to wait longer than expected (annoying). simple tasks, like ordering another drink or getting someone's attention for assistance, required extra effort. the other thing was the breakfast (i was looking forward to this!). it was served in the bar, and the options were limited, especially for a hotel of this supposed standard.

The breakfast included table service which was acceptable.

My room was far too warm. I opened the window, yet all I heard was kitchen extraction. The television remote failed often , and the shower offered only extreme temperatures.
