limited wifibasic breakfast

I must say, the lack of WiFi in this day and age was a significant inconvenience. Cellular service was also spotty, made planning our day trips somewhat challenging. Breakfast was rather basic. It felt more like a light snack than a proper meal. I also found it a bit off-putting to be reminded to turn off the radiator when leaving the room. This information should have been communicated upon arrival.
