adequate, but some issues

powdered eggsdirty tables
The breakfast selection was disappointing. It seemed they used powdered eggs instead of real scrambled eggs. also, i noticed several empty tables were not clean when i arrived. guests resorted to wiping the tables themselves with tissues because the staff were slow to clean them.
