poor water pressurelimited breakfast
the shower wasn't great. it had poor water pressure and the temperature was difficult to regulate. the sealant around the base was peeling off. another issue was the limited choice at breakfast. i prefer hot options, but the breakfast was primarily cold items. this was disappointing considering the cost.
