Acceptable Location. Issues with Breakfast

uncooked eggs limited egg options

The location was acceptable.

The breakfast disappointed. They only offer one strange way to have eggs. They are boiled at low temperature, so they are practically uncooked. The staff would not make them any other way, which I found unacceptable, especially at this price.
