superb varietyfaulty air conditioning
The breakfast offered a superb variety of options, even the coffee was quite good.
The air conditioning did not work. Maintenance attempted repairs but could only shut down the system, leading to a restless night with extra blankets. The front desk's suggestion was to keep trying until finding the "sweet spot".
