limited varietyineffective air conditioning

the breakfast buffet was really underwhelming , i expected more variety. the shower in my room had some issues , it leaked onto the floor. i found that quite annoying and it made the bathroom floor constantly wet. the air conditioning wasn't very effective , it struggled to keep the room cool enough for my liking. the noise from the street was also quite noticeable , even with the windows closed.
