poor soundproofing cramped breakfast
I was a bit let down. The soundproofing wasn't great. i could clearly hear noises from neighboring rooms and the hallway. this made it hard to relax fully, especially in the evenings. also, the breakfast area felt quite cramped during peak hours. it was tough to find a seat sometimes, and i felt a bit rushed to finish my meal.
