mixed bag, really.
loud generator constant noise
The breakfast was acceptable, i suppose. A decent start to the day, if you like that sort of thing.
My room was right above some kind of generator. It hummed loudly all night. sleeping was difficult, and i'm not someone who's usually bothered by noise. earplugs would have been good, but alas, i did not bring them.
