It would be great to have screens on the windows for the semi private rooms. If the window is open, there is no security. Some people come back late at night and it is unnerving to have the window open. The breakfast may be a little more wholesome - pancakes are horrible for people who have celiac or egg allergies. There is nothing else - no fruit no options. This leaves many of us having to quickly go elsewhere for breakfast.
