underwhelming stay, issues noted

limited selection dirty laundry

I found the breakfast service quite poor. getting a seat was a challenge as we had to clear tables ourselves. the selection was limited. Staff repeatedly stated they were out of items and would not restock them.. the price felt excessive given the taylor swift concert inflations. despite arriving after the stated check-in time, dirty laundry from the previous night cluttered the third-floor hallway.
