Acceptable Stay

helpful team easy access kitchen feature breakfast variety salty option food choice
The room had a kitchen. It also included a coffee machine, which I used daily. The location provided easy access to restaurants and markets. The team was very helpful and attentive.
The breakfast lacked variety. There were few choices. I noticed the absence of salty breakfast options. This was odd, given I was in America.
