Adequate Stay. Breakfast Quality Needs Improvement

weak coffee insufficient chair
I found some aspects of the breakfast disappointing. The sausage tasted dry and was burnt. The bacon was also dry. The coffee was quite weak. I noticed only one chair in the room, insufficient for a room accommodating two people.
