average stay due to noise and breakfast issues

street noiseslow service

The street noise was quite bothersome. It continued late into the night. also, i found the breakfast disappointing. it required a walk to another location. the choices were limited, and the service felt slow. i had hoped for a more relaxing start to my day.
