a few minor issues

good locationcramped breakfast areaheavy traffic
the location was quite good.
I was not impressed with the breakfast area. it felt quite cramped, and getting a seat sometimes reminded me of a struggle. the room i had, a beautiful double room, faced the street and the noise in the morning made it difficult to sleep well. Heavy traffic started early.
