The internet speed is extremely poor and needs significant improvement. The quality of service from the team is somewhat inconsistent. While some team members are excellent, friendly, and very helpful, others can come across as robotic and less willing to assist. The breakfast selection and overall quality could also be improved. Addressing these areas would make the overall experience much better.
