cramped breakfast area non-adjustable heating

The breakfast area was cramped. It was hard to find a seat, I even had to wait for someone to leave. My room had a non-adjustable heating system, it reminded me of a sauna. I could not turn it down. The temperature made it hard to sleep.

The location is unbeatable (I mean, wow!). It's just a short walk to the main attractions. My room was spacious and clean. The staff was very friendly and always ready to help with directions and recommendations.
