early drilling slow service

The location was convenient for accessing different parts of the city.

Specifically, drilling began early in the morning. This made it difficult to relax in my room. the service in the restaurant was slow, and I had to wait an unreasonable amount of time to receive my order (over 40 minutes, I timed it).
