carpet stains road noise
the breakfast was good (i especially liked the variety of cereals).
i had some issues with the room's cleanliness. there were stains on the carpet and dust in some corners. additionally, the noise from the nearby road was quite noticeable, even with the windows closed. it disrupted my sleep a little.
