mixed feelings about this hotel

street noiselimited breakfast
i found the noise levels quite disruptive. the street sounds were very noticeable. the room also lacked proper soundproofing. the breakfast was limited to muffins and yogurt, not really enough for a proper start to the day. i wished for more variety. the packaged muffins felt impersonal, and i missed having fresh options.
