cramped breakfast areainconsistent coffee
The breakfast area felt somewhat cramped with limited space between tables, made navigating with a plate a bit challenging, especially during peak hours. i also noticed a slight delay in replenishing some of the breakfast items, such as pastries, causing occasional waits. the coffee machine produced inconsistent quality coffee. Some cups were weak. this detracted slightly from an otherwise adequate breakfast service.
