The breakfast was ok, however you were watched like a hawk in my opinion. The room was not up to par I know it was older, however the smell in the room. The dirt in the corners from poor cleaning and the floor had gaps in the wood or whatever it was made of. That you could trip over. The door to the room maybe because of age didn't work well.
