room issues detracted from the stay
breakfast buffet good variety unclean bathroom previous guests' hair
the breakfast buffet offered a good variety of options to start the day.
I found the room wasn't as clean as i hoped. The bathroom showed signs of wear and could have used more attention, it had hair from previous guests too. this impacted my overall impression.
