basic breakfast street noise
The tram stop was nearby. That was ACCEPTABLE.
The breakfast was quite basic and unremarkable. the small elevator barely fit us with luggage. It required two trips. The street noise was significant, as our window did not close properly.

stale pastries difficult parking
the staff was helpful with directions to local attractions.
The breakfast was repetitive (it had limited variety) and the pastries seemed stale. the parking situation was difficult. It wasn't a dedicated lot and required leaving our keys at the front desk.
