limited food options cold breakfast
The king bed had two separate mattresses and I consider this acceptable.
The food delivery did not arrive on schedule. I encountered limited dinner food options. A cold continental breakfast constituted the only available option for me. I find this unacceptable.

Acceptable stay with some drawbacks

worn carpet stair noise
The location was suitable for catching an early ferry. This aspect met my needs.
The room rate felt excessive for the quality received. I also found the noise from nearby stairs disruptive. Every footstep echoed. The carpet in my room looked worn and showed stains.
