Location and room size, breakfast choices for the food

The staff at reception: despite having no customers to check in. Both receptionists did not show a friendly attitude. None explained what facilities were available, I even had to ask myself about the free wifi. I think their main worry was to expedite the check in process. Now breakfast staff mainly the people in charge. Despite being in a hurry, I was asked to sit and wait for my drink order. Why not proposing a self service corner for tea and coffee for business people?

Just one concern, the duvet (blanket) in the room was small of even a small sized person. Please consider that.
