small room limited variety
The room was smaller than expected. I felt a bit claustrophobic. also, the breakfast setup was odd. there was someone cooking omelets, nice, but you had to wait an age for them, especially annoying when you just want a quick bite. the variety was limited if you stayed more than a few days, i noticed.
