poor breakfast overwhelmed staff
I thought the hotel was well-located. The breakfast, however, was not good. There were very few options and the quality was not great. It seemed like a very basic continental breakfast I could have skipped, though it was included in the price. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed when there were multiple guests. Sometimes I had to wait a while for assistance. This slowed things down a bit.
