street noise limited breakfast
I had such high hopes after reading about the place, but my room, the 'classic double room', really missed the mark. the noise from the street was constant. It seemed like the windows offered zero soundproofing. also, the breakfast selection, while fresh, was surprisingly limited. i expected more variety considering the price.
