limited breakfastfew outlets

the room felt quite basic , especially considering the price. i noticed a lack of readily available power outlets , which was inconvenient when trying to charge devices. the breakfast selection was also limited , it seemed the hotel assumed guests were only staying one night , so variety wasn't a priority.
