location is okay, other aspects need work

poor breakfastterrible sound insulation
The room i had was just not good. the furniture was old and seemed like it could break any minute. the sound insulation was terrible. I could hear everything from the next room, every conversation and cough. breakfast was also a letdown. it was mostly just sweet stuff, not suitable for anyone wanting a proper savory start to the day.
