minor issues detract from the stay

noisy room cramped breakfast area
the room was quite noisy. i could hear everything from the hallway and adjacent rooms, that impacted my sleep. also, the breakfast area felt cramped. there weren't enough seats during peak hours and i had to wait for a table each morning. these inconveniences affected the overall experience negatively.
