considerable variety easy access luggage transport unclean blanket small pillow poor sound insulation

The breakfast had considerable variety and seemed to suit various preferences. its location proved quite convenient. It allowed easy access to nearby attractions AND transport options. the staff's assistance with luggage transport to my next location was appreciated.

The blanket was unclean. I noticed this immediately upon arrival. the pillow was quite small, barely adequate for a comfortable sleep. THE room lacked sufficient sound insulation. Noise from the street was noticeable.
