the room was nothing special. the breakfast was a bit of a mess, with long waits for a table. i also found the standard room quite basic, with no view. it wasn't the worst experience, but i expected more for the price

breakfast queue unacceptable delay
I find that a wait of up to thirty minutes for breakfast is unacceptable. This is a significant issue, and it makes me rethink a return visit. The hotel should address this immediately with expansions. This delay, caused by room number callouts, needs resolution.
