poor breakfast service inexperienced staff
The room was quite clean and relatively quiet given the location.
The breakfast service was quite poor. I had a half-hour slot for breakfast, and I still did not get served before I had to leave. The staff did not seem comfortable, almost like they had no experience.

The location provided easy access to nearby attractions, convenient.
The TV in my room didn't work, and after I reported it, nothing happened. No one fixed it or offered a solution. I found that a bit annoying, I must say.
