small shower threadbare towels
the breakfast buffet was okay (not stellar, but serviceable). plenty of options there.
The shower was laughably small. i reminded me of i was showering in a phone booth. the water pressure was also ridiculously low. It took forever to rinse off the soap. and don't even get me started on the threadbare towels. They reminded me of sandpaper.
