room temperaturelimited options
The ROOM temperature was difficult to regulate , resulting in some discomfort. the breakfast selection lacked variety . Specifically , there were limited options for fresh fruit and pastries. these issues detracted from an otherwise ACCEPTABLE stay. also, the ice machine on my floor was out of service.
