An uninspired stay
worn furniture undercooked eggs
The location was reasonably close to points of interest. It proved acceptable.
The room showed its age. The furniture looked worn. Breakfast presented a rather mediocre affair. The scrambled eggs seemed consistently undercooked. The bacon was not crisp at all.

adequate, yet underwhelming
lack of view poor soundproofing
the room i was assigned, a double room, faced an inner courtyard, so the view was nonexistent. this made the room quite dark, even during the day. additionally, the soundproofing was inadequate. i could hear conversations and noise from adjacent rooms and the hallway. this proved disruptive, especially during the early morning hours.
