small room and breakfast issues

small room empty coffee
The room was smaller than i expected, and it felt cramped. breakfast was a hassle. The coffee pot was empty, and there were no mugs. i had to ask for everything. after we finally got our food, the staff turned the music off and left. it felt rude.

varied choices excellent cleanliness friendly staff great atmosphere
I stayed for several nights and the cleanliness was excellent. The breakfast included varied choices and a full cooked option. It had hot, tasty food. The staff were super friendly and helpful! They were so attentive to every need. The bar area provides a great atmosphere.
The room was slightly smaller than I anticipated from the photos, BUT it was still well-appointed.

Acceptable Stay, Dinner Disappointing

The room was nice and neat.
The dinner was a letdown. My burger was overcooked and tasted burnt (I got a small beer as compensation).
