My visit included a room where temperature regulation proved problematic. despite my efforts to adjust the thermostat, the room remained uncomfortably warm. the breakfast lacked variety in its egg offerings. Only prepackaged scrambled eggs were available. i would have preferred fresh options such as poached or boiled eggs.
