small breakfast area limited minibar
The breakfast area was way too small. The hotel seemed to have crammed many guests in a tiny space around 9 AM. I had to sit on small chairs at a cramped table in the bar. Others used a low bench with a low coffee table. It was very uncomfortable. the minibar was a joke. It only had two small water bottles and a juice.
