large buffetblackout curtains

i found the breakfast buffet unexpectedly large. it included many options (especially good if you have dietary restrictions). the room had blackout curtains, excellent for blocking the light during long daylight hours.

the desk in the superior room was quite small, not ideal for working with a laptop.
