- Breakfast can get busy — One guest notes that breakfast service can be crowded, which may mean queues or a less relaxed start to the day during peak times.
- Possible early housekeeping disturbances — A guest mentioned cleaning staff knocking on the door early in the morning, which could be an issue for those wanting a lie-in.
