Breakfast can be somewhat chaotic.

Limited parking facilities.
Parking proves an issue for some guests staying at the hotel. The adjacent parking lot does not have enough parking spaces to meet demand, resulting in a first come, first served situation. This leaves some guests to seek alternative parking arrangements.

Bedding not to everybody's liking.
