early closure broken phone

The breakfast menu was acceptable. The location let me watch the buzz of the square, but the room was sound proofed when I closed the balcony doors.

The rooftop and pool close at 7pm. It is very inconvenient. They also don't open until 11am so I could not go for a morning swim. The TV and phone in my room were broken.
