limited breakfast variety small spa bath

The continental breakfast was disappointing. It lacked variety. also, i found some ants in the bathroom near the coffee cups that had been left, it wasn't what i expected. the spa bath on the balcony was also quite small. Only one person could fit. this made it less enjoyable.
