Acceptable Location, Noticeable Flaws

dated fixtures regimented breakfast

The location proved convenient, especially with the nearby supermarket.

The room was quite worn. Some fixtures looked rather dated. Breakfast felt unnecessarily regimented as the staff portioned out each item with no options for self-service. This practice created an atmosphere that felt a bit stingy.. I wouldn't hurry back.
