poor coffee stale bread

The first morning began poorly. No hot water was available for several hours. staff cited a fire alarm, though i find it difficult to believe no guests heard it or saw an evacuation. the breakfast quality fell short of acceptable standards. the coffee lacked proper strength and the bread tasted stale.
