mixed experience during transit

varied breakfastunreliable shuttledirty bathroom
the breakfast was acceptable and varied.
the shuttle service was unreliable. the schedule indicated a bus every 30 minutes, but i waited over an hour at the airport (with a baby!) and ultimately took a taxi. the cleanliness of my room also left something to be desired, especially the bathroomwith visible dirt and grime.
