The breakfast service met expectations. I found it pretty standard.
The hotel location is central. I think it's a negative. The noise from the street at night was really bad, it faced the street.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues
ideal locationchaotic breakfastlong coffee lines
The location was ideal. Many restaurants were nearby.
The breakfast setup was chaotic. There was only one coffee machine, resulting in long lines (annoying, to say the least). Food items ran out quickly, and the staff, while working hard, seemed overwhelmed. The hotel needs to improve staffing during peak times to prevent such a stressful breakfast experience.
