Acceptable stay with some issues

limp pastries no cooked breakfast
The room was clean. It was an acceptable aspect of my visit.
I found the breakfast REALLY disappointing. The pastries seemed limp, and the fruit tasted like it came straight from a tin. There was no cooked breakfast option available, a letdown.

the location was good and the free wifi worked well.
i was a bit disappointed with the breakfast , it was continental only and i would have preferred a cooked option. the decor and carpets felt a little tired , they could use some updating. also , i noticed a sign mentioning staff shortages , it seemed the kitchen was affected and food service slowed down during busy times.
