Breakfast included basic options, but they were acceptable. I found a Woolworth supermarket stocked with a bakery, an eatery, and a liquor store approximately 5-10 minutes by foot. This made it easy to purchase snacks and drinks.

The provided breakfast was alright..
My room apparently skipped the cleaning memo left over food stains remained on the kitchenette and I spotted some questionable hairs on the bed sheets. Seems a bit too authentic for my taste.
